Significance The question whether sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) can be self-sufficient in cereals by 2050 is of global relevance. Currently, SSA amongst the (sub)continents with largest gap between cereal consumption and production, whereas its projected tripling demand 2010 much greater than other continents. We show that nearly complete closure current farm yields yield potential needed to maintain level self-sufficiency (approximately 80%) 2050. For all countries, such requires a large, abrupt...
BackgroundSustainable diets are intended to address the increasing health and environmental concerns related food production consumption. Although many candidates for sustainable have emerged, a consistent joint analysis of these has not been done at regional level. Using an integrated modelling framework more than 150 countries, we examined three different approaches motivated by environmental, security, public objectives.MethodsIn this global analysis, combined analyses nutrient levels,...
Abstract We use a logit adoption model with data on 941 U.S. corn producers from the 1996 Agricultural Resource Management Study to analyze influence of land tenure conservation practices. extend previous analyses by distinguishing renters according lease type and practices timing costs returns. find that cash‐renters are less likely than owner‐operators tillage, but share‐renters not. Both adopt provide benefits only over longer term (grassed waterways, stripcropping, contour farming).
Previous studies have combined climate, crop and economic models to examine the impact of climate change on agricultural production food security, but results varied widely due differences in models, scenarios input data. Recent work has examined (and narrowed) these through systematic model intercomparison using a high-emissions pathway highlight differences. This paper extends that analysis explore range plausible socioeconomic emission pathways. Results from multiple are global regional...
Current diets are detrimental to both human and planetary health shifting towards more balanced, predominantly plant-based is seen as crucial improving both. Low fruit vegetable consumption itself a major nutritional problem. We aim better quantify the gap between future supply recommended levels by exploring interactions demand in than 150 countries from 1961 2050.
Land use is at the core of various sustainable development goals. Long-term climate foresight studies have structured their recent analyses around five socio-economic pathways (SSPs), with consistent storylines future macroeconomic and societal developments; however, model quantification these scenarios shows substantial heterogeneity in land-use projections. Here we build on a recently developed sensitivity approach to identify how land depends six distinct drivers (population, wealth,...
In recent decades there has been a sustained and substantial shift in human diets across the globe towards including more livestock-derived foods. Continuing debates scrutinize how these dietary shifts affect health, natural environment, livelihoods. However, amidst remain unanswered questions about demand for foods may evolve over upcoming range of scenarios key drivers change population, income, consumer preferences. Future trends population income our were sourced from three shared...
Abstract This Analysis presents a recently developed food system indicator framework and holistic monitoring architecture to track transformation towards global development, health sustainability goals. Five themes are considered: (1) diets, nutrition health; (2) environment, natural resources production; (3) livelihoods, poverty equity; (4) governance; (5) resilience. Each theme is divided into three five domains, indicators were selected reflect each domain through consultative process. In...
ABSTRACT Nutrient depletion in soils adversely affects soil quality and reduces crop yield consequently poses a potential threat to global food security agricultural sustainability. With an emphasis on human-induced nutrient depletion, this paper described the causality among quality, production, socio-economic variables, environmental condition. Then, budgets of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) were estimated for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), rice (Oryza sativa), maize (Zea mays...
Background The consumption of red and processed meat has been associated with increased mortality from chronic diseases, as a result, it classified by the World Health Organization carcinogenic (processed meat) probably (red to humans. One policy response is regulate similar other carcinogens foods public health concerns. Here we describe market-based approach taxing according its impacts. Methods We calculated economically optimal tax levels for 149 world regions that would account...
We use IFPRI's IMPACT framework of linked biophysical and structural economic models to examine developments in global agricultural production systems, climate change, food security. Building on related work how increased investment research, resource management, infrastructure can address the challenges meeting future demand, we explore costs implications these investments for reducing hunger Africa by 2030. This analysis is coupled with a new estimation model, based perpetual inventory...
In an increasingly globalized and interconnected world, where social environmental change occur ever more rapidly, careful futures-oriented thinking becomes crucial for effective decision making. Foresight activities, including scenario development, quantitative modeling, scenario-guided design of policies programs, play a key role in exploring options to address socioeconomic challenges across many sectors decision-making levels. We take stock recent methodological developments foresight...
Animal pollination supports agricultural production for many healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes, that provide key nutrients protect against noncommunicable disease. Today, most crops receive suboptimal because of limited abundance diversity pollinating insects. pollinators are currently suffering owing to a host direct indirect anthropogenic pressures: land-use change, intensive farming techniques, harmful pesticides, nutritional stress, climate among others.We...
Food and nutrition security have become increasingly critical concerns for policy makers given that the slow progress on eliminating these challenges has reversed in recent years, with an increase number of hungry people by 122 million (20 percent) between 2019 2022. In addition to rebuilding aftermath COVID-19 pandemic, global food system faces inter-related from climate change, trade disruptions, increasing scarcity water land, environmental degradation, evolving demand patterns, among...
