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,...
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.
Fish contribute to Africa's food and nutrition security, but future directions for the fish sector remain uncertain. Using a structural foresight modeling approach, this paper examines past, present, trends of supply demand in Africa highlight challenges prospects sector's contribution security continent. If historical are maintained, growth aquaculture fisheries would be slow, resulting declining per capita consumption. Alternative scenarios potential importance African development...
The International Food Policy Research Institute's Model for Analysis of Agricultural Commodities and Trade (IMPACT) supports analysis long-term challenges opportunities food, agriculture, natural resources at global regional scales. IMPACT is continually being updated improved to better inform the choices that decisionmakers face today. This document describes latest version model. 3 expands geographic commodity scope model in response desires expressed by researchers policymakers address...
BackgroundIncreasing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) affect global nutrition via effects on agricultural productivity and nutrient content food crops. We combined these with economic projections to estimate net changes in availability between 2010 2050.MethodsIn this modelling study, we used the International Model for Policy Analysis Agricultural Commodities Trade project per capita protein, iron, zinc 2050. estimated individual commodities model production, trade,...
Abstract India has the second largest population in world and is characterized by a broad diversity climate, topography, flora, fauna, land use, socioeconomic conditions. To help ensure food security future, agricultural systems will have to respond global change drivers such as growth, changing dietary habits, climate change. However, alterations of how produced future may conflict with other UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), protection resources mitigation. It crucial for...
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...
Rising world fuel prices, the growing demand for energy, and concerns about global warming are key factors driving interest in renewable energy sources bioenergy, particular. Within a context, fossil consumption still dominates market (figure 1). However, uncertainty future supply, currently unsustainable patterns of consumption, costs expanding proven reserves fuels have lead many analysts managers around to seek alternatives from other more resources, such as bioenergy. The rapid increase...
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...
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...
Achieving and maintaining global food security is challenged by changes in population, income, climate, among other drivers. Assessing these threats weighing possible solutions requires a robust multidisciplinary approach. One such approach integrates biophysical modeling with economic to explore the combined effects of climate stresses future socioeconomic trends, thus providing more accurate picture how agriculture system may be affected coming decades. We review analyze literature on this...
The widely recognized role of roots, tubers and bananas (RT&Bs) in achieving food security providing income opportunities the world's poorest regions will be challenged by socioeconomic climate related drivers. These affect demand production patterns increase pressure on farming systems. Foresight results presented this paper show that importance RT&B crops for likely 2050 despite these challenges. Furthermore, investments targeted at yield growth appear to more effective than marketing...
One of the most pressing challenges facing food systems in Africa is ensuring availability a healthy and sustainable diet to 2.4 billion people by 2050. The continent has struggled with development challenges, particularly chronic insecurity pervasive poverty. In Africa's systems, fish other aquatic foods play multifaceted role generating income, providing critical source essential micronutrients. To date, there are no estimates investment potential returns for domestic production Africa....
