Global Futures and Strategic Foresight

CIAT, Cali24 February 2014

Objectives

• Enhance a coordinated suite of biophysical and economic models

• Strengthen capacity and build a community of practice for ex ante impact assessment

• Assess potential returns to a range of possible technologies and investments under alternative global futures

Overview

• Global Futures Phase 1 (2010 – 2013)• Funding from BMGF and CCAFS• IFPRI, CIAT, CIMMYT, CIP, ICRISAT, IRRI; ICRAF, ILRI

• Global Futures and Strategic Foresight Phase 2 (2013 – 2016)• Funding from BMGF, CCAFS and PIM• Joined by ICARDA, IITA, IWMI and WorldFish

The role of agricultural technologies

• Baseline to 2050, including climate change• Linked crop models and

economic models• Assessed 11

technologies for maize, rice and wheat• Impacts on prices,

yields, risk of hungerSource: IFPRI (2014)

• RTB CRP ps project• Set priorities for: rice, beans,

forages• Analyze and keep track of

changes in major trends and drivers for CIAT Commodities / in LAC

• Strategic foresight for main crops: multidisciplinary committees

Opportunities GFSF & CIAT

• Internal:• Priority setting for crop groups: support for R&D agenda• Identifying opportunities and risks• Linking research to impacts: donors

• CGIAR level• Increase communication among centers and CRPs• Help setting credible IDOs & Outcomes

• Policy making• Scenario based global modeling: support decision making• Work with NARs in strategic planning
