Goals, Progress andPlans for 2015 – 2016
Keith Wiebe
Strategic Foresight Conference
Washington DC, 7 November 2014
Global Futures and Strategic Foresight is a CGIAR initiative to improve our understanding of future challenges to
agricultural productivity, food security and environmental sustainability – and to explore options to address them
With support from BMGF, PIM and CCAFSas well as AgMIP, USAID and USDA
Objectives
1. Improved system of integrated biophysical and economic modeling tools
2. Stronger community of practice for scenario analysis and ex ante impact assessment
3. Improved assessments of alternative global futures
4. To inform research, investment and policy decisions in the CGIAR and its partners
1. Improved modeling tools
• Complete recoding of IMPACT
• Disaggregation geographically and by commodity
• Land allocation to crops
• Improved water & crop models
• New data management system
• Modular framework
• Training
2. Stronger community of practice
• 12 CGIAR centers now participating in GFSF• IFPRI, CIAT, CIMMYT, CIP, ICARDA,
ICRAF, ICRISAT, IITA, ILRI, IRRI, IWMI, WorldFish
• Collaboration with other leading global economic modeling groups through AgMIP
3. Improved assessments
• IMPACT baseline
• AgMIP global economic assessments
• CCAFS regional scenarios
• Analyses by centers
• GFSF promising technologies
Rainfed Maize (Africa)
Irrigated Wheat (S. Asia)
Rainfed Rice (S. + SE. Asia)
Rainfed Potato (Asia)
Rainfed Sorghum (Africa + India)
Rainfed Groundnut (Africa + SE Asia)
Rainfed Cassava (E. + S. + SE. Asia)
3. Improved assessments
• Investing in data for improved modeling• Sika Gbegbelegbe, CIMMYT
• Foresight analysis and ex ante assessment of promising technologies to inform decision making• Swamikannu Nedumaran, ICRISAT
3. Improved assessments
• IMPACT baseline
• AgMIP global economic assessments
• CCAFS regional scenarios
• Analyses by centers
• GFSF promising technologies
• Role of ag technologies
• Africa regional reports

Rainfed Potato (Asia)
Rainfed Sorghum (Africa + India)
Rainfed Groundnut (Africa + SE Asia)

Challenges
1. Models and data• Variability, production systems, biotic stresses, gender
2. Institutional• Integrating within and across centers
• Supporting an expanding network
3. Analytical• Harmonizing for comparison vs diverse interests
4. Linking with decision makers• From tools to analysis to outputs to outcomes
Plans for 2015-16Center Focus areas
CIAT Cassava, beans, rice; tropical forages?
CIMMYT Pests and diseases for maize and wheat, economy-wide effects
CIP Potato and sweet potato, late blight, virus models
ICARDA Conservation agriculture technologies for wheat, policy dialogue
ICRAF Agro-forestry systems, large-area crop model
ICRISAT Pearl millet, chickpea, pests and diseases, gender
IFPRI Livestock and fish models, land use, variability, nutrition
IITA Cassava, cowpea, maize, soybean
ILRI Livestock module, vaccines, feed and genetic technologies
IRRI C4 rice, submergence tolerant rice
IWMI Groundwater model and scenarios in India, China, Africa
WorldFish Fish model, global and national supply and demand scenarios
Additional considerations
• Broadening from original focus on “virtual crops”• Livestock, fish commodities
• Resources, systems, management practices
• Alternate socioeconomic and emissions pathways
• Shared interests, collaboration across centers as well as with external partners
• Training activities
• Innovation in methods and tools to fit the question
• Ownership, uptake and sustainability
• More attention to end users
4. Informing decision making
• CGIAR centers
• CRPs• RTB, Dryland Cereals, Grain Legumes; Maize,
Wheat, Dryland Systems, Livestock & Fish…
• National partners• MENA, S & SE Asia, Latin America, Sub-Saharan
Africa, Central Asia
• Regional organizations• ASARECA, COMESA, CORAF/WECARD, FANRPAN, FARA, FLAR
• International organizations and donors• OECD, FAO, ADB, IDB, IFAD, WB, BMGF, DFID, USDA
