• Cost-effective, e.g. Copenhagen Consensus
• Investment of $300-400 million over 15 years will have
an economic return of tens of billions of dollars
• Focuses on women and children whose nutrition
requirements are highest
• Works best where women are farmers; women are more
open to nutrition messages than men
• Targets the rural poor
• Sustainable, most costs are front-loaded
• Links agriculture and nutrition; HarvestPlus has a proven
track record in bringing the agriculture and nutrition
communities together
• The technology now on the shelf waiting to be
implemented; impacts will improve over time

This document analyzes rising food prices in China and the government's policy responses. It finds that grain prices have risen steadily due to sufficient supply following agricultural stimulus policies from 2004-2008. Corn and vegetable prices are more volatile and linked to production costs. Food prices also reflect increases in the money supply and costs of agricultural inputs like oil. The government has responded by increasing imports, using reserves, contracting vegetable production, and investing in agriculture, research, and social programs. Further research is needed on the impacts of money supply and prices on farmer incomes.

From Doha to Bali: Why the road should not end now

International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)

This document summarizes the key findings from economic modeling on the potential impacts of a successful Doha Development Round agreement in global agricultural trade and food security. The modeling shows the agreement could significantly reduce bound and applied tariffs for developing countries, increase global agricultural trade volumes by over 5% and values by nearly 7%, and provide welfare gains of over 0.1% of global income. However, if negotiations fail, the global trading system would become less resilient and developing countries could face annual income losses of over $150 billion by 2025 compared to under a successful agreement.

International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)

This document summarizes a report on agriculture and rural development in Pakistan. It finds that while agriculture contributes less to GDP growth than in the past, it remains important for poverty reduction. Rural poverty levels remain high. The report argues that agriculture can still contribute to growth if Pakistan improves policies around irrigation, water management, seeds, and fertilizer. It also argues for empowering rural communities through better public services, aspirations, and taking advantage of the 18th amendment's devolution of power.

HarvestPlus aims to improve nutrition through biofortified staple crops. It has made progress breeding crops with higher micronutrient levels, shown these nutrients are bioavailable, and facilitated the release and adoption of biofortified varieties in several countries. However, challenges remain to scale up delivery in target countries through mass distribution and ensure biofortification efforts are sustainable and integrated within agricultural institutions long-term. Addressing malnutrition will require breaking down divisions between agriculture, food, nutrition and health to view them as interrelated.

Indian dairy

devendralakhore1

The dairy sector in India has grown from a small rural cottage industry to making India the largest producer of milk in the world. Initially, dairy was localized with production and consumption nearby. The establishment of military dairy farms and milk cooperatives allowed for regular milk delivery in cities. Today, over 100 million animals are reared by 70 million farmers organized into over 100,000 village cooperatives. The National Dairy Development Board and cooperatives like Amul played a key role in development through programs like Operation Flood. While India is now nearly self-sufficient in milk and milk products, challenges remain around cold storage, transportation infrastructure, and further developing the rural market.

This document discusses biofortified crops in Bangladesh and their potential to address micronutrient deficiencies. It defines biofortified crops as staple foods bred to contain higher levels of vitamins and minerals. Bangladesh has successfully developed and released zinc-rich rice varieties that increase zinc intake and can reduce childhood stunting and mortality. Widespread adoption of these varieties could help over 40% of Bangladeshi children at risk of zinc deficiency. However, efforts are still needed to increase commercial availability and market access for biofortified crops, as well as nutrition education to encourage consumption. Overall, biofortification shows promise for sustainably combating micronutrient deficiencies in Bangladesh.

Rooting out hunger in Malawi with potato and sweetpotato

2020 Conference

The document discusses efforts to address hunger and malnutrition in Malawi through the promotion of early maturing potato and vitamin A-rich sweet potato varieties. The Malawi Growth and Development Strategy and Agriculture Sector Wide Approach Programme target agriculture and food security. A nutrition policy was also developed to address high stunting and underweight rates in children under five. The International Potato Center, with funding from Irish Aid, is implementing potato and sweet potato projects to increase food security, diversification and nutrition by promoting varieties that contain important nutrients. The projects have strengthened capacity, improved varieties, promoted seed production technologies, and empowered farmers to increase incomes and nutrition.

Indian agriculture

kanishk102

Indian agriculture is one of the strong sectors of the Indian economy, contributing 14% to GDP and employing 58% of the population. Major crops include rice, wheat, oilseeds, cotton, jute, and tea. The Green Revolution in the 1960s increased agricultural production and exports through high-yielding varieties and increased fertilizer and irrigation. However, average yields remain low due to inadequate irrigation, illiteracy, and lack of technical development compared to other countries.

The Indian food processing industry presents opportunities for investment driven by changing consumption patterns and government support. It contributes 9% to India's GDP and the government is targeting $21.9 billion in investments over 5 years. The areas of investment include mega food parks, supply chain infrastructure, and machinery. India is an attractive location for food processing due to its large agricultural output and consumer market, as well as government policies like food parks and FDI permissions that are promoting the industry's growth.

Howarth Bouis, IFPRI "Dietary Diversity"

Independent Science and Partnership Council of the CGIAR

This document discusses biofortification and implementing biofortified crops. It begins by outlining the primary functions of agriculture as income, food, and health. It then discusses dietary diversity and nutrient intakes in poor populations. Several challenges of biofortification are outlined, including whether breeding can increase nutrient levels enough, if the added nutrients are bioavailable, and if farmers and consumers will adopt and consume biofortified crops. Pilot projects on orange sweet potato in Mozambique and Uganda showed increased vitamin A intakes. Targets for numbers of farm households testing biofortified crops by 2018 in various countries are provided. The challenges of scaling up delivery and mainstreaming breeding are discussed. It concludes by quoting Sir Albert Howard on the

This document discusses using satellite data and crop modeling to forecast crop yields in Mozambique. It summarizes previous studies conducted in the US, Argentina, and Brazil to test a remote sensing crop growth and simulation model (RS-CGSM) for predicting corn and soybean yields. For Mozambique, additional data is needed on crop cultivars, management practices, planting and harvest seasons. It also describes using earth observation data and machine learning models to forecast crop yields and conditions across many countries as part of the GEOGLAM program, though this is currently only implemented in South Africa for Africa. Finally, it mentions a production efficiency model for estimating yield from satellite estimates of gross primary production.

The importance of Rice in Senegal

International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)

Rice is the most consumed cereal in Senegal, accounting for 34% of total cereal consumption. Per capita consumption is 80-90kg annually, though there is an urban-rural divide. While domestic production has doubled between 2010-2021, it still only meets 40% of demand. As a result, Senegal imports around 1 million tons annually, mainly from India and Thailand. Several public policies aim to incentivize domestic production and stabilize prices, though rice remains highly exposed to international price shocks due to its importance in consumption and reliance on imports.
