Disciplining Domestic Support in the context of WTO MC12David Laborde
The upcoming WTO Ministerial in late November will provide yet another opportunity to address and reform agricultural domestic support. The domestic support pillar has been at the heart of the agricultural negotiations since they began in 2000, but it has proven challenging to achieve consensus on how to advance reforms. In fact, domestic support levels remain high and have risen in recent years.
This presentation introduces a recent report by IFPRI researchers that suggests that new disciplines could both reduce distortions and provide significant protection in the event of a subsidy war by reducing "leakage" in domestic support disciplines.

Covid-19 and Global Food Security (Briefing 15mn)David Laborde
This document discusses the impacts of COVID-19 on global food security. It finds that:
1) The global economic downturn caused by the pandemic is expected to increase the number of people living in extreme poverty by nearly 150 million people, with the largest increases in Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and South America.
2) Supply chain disruptions for labor-intensive and perishable foods like vegetables, meat, and dairy have occurred as a result of disease spread and labor shortages. Some countries have also imposed export restrictions on food, disrupting international trade.
3) To prevent a major global food crisis, policies are needed that stimulate economies, support developing nations, keep food trade
A globalized crisis or a crisis of the globalization?David Laborde
This document summarizes the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on global food security and poverty. It notes that social distancing measures have disrupted international transport and trade, lowering incomes and demand. Data shows increasing self-reported stress levels and reliance on savings in Ethiopia. Estimates indicate the pandemic could increase the global number of extremely poor people by over 100 million by 2022. Policies are needed to strengthen social safety nets, keep food supply chains open, and assess the crisis's effects on competition.

This document discusses the relationship between biofuel policies, agricultural prices, and food security. It makes three key points:
1) There is not expected to be a strong direct link between biofuel demand and consumer price indices (CPI), as prices are affected by many factors like weather, policies, and market behaviors.
2) The impact of biofuel policies on both food CPI and energy CPI must be considered, as increases in either can negatively affect the poor. The design of biofuel policies can help determine their effects on consumers and taxpayers.
3) Biofuel policies may increase both the level and volatility of agricultural prices in the long run by shifting supply structures and linking commodity markets more closely to

Virtual Event - COVID-19: Emerging problems and potential country-level responses
APR 30, 2020 - 09:00 AM TO 10:15 AM EDT
Global commodity prices have been rising since the COVID-19 pandemic, including prices for energy, agriculture, food, oils, meals and grains. As a net importer of commodities like wheat, cooking oil, fuel and fertilizer, increasing global prices will directly and indirectly impact Ethiopia's food security and inflation. Prior to the Ukraine-Russia crisis, domestic inflation in Ethiopia was already being driven up, particularly food inflation. Rising fertilizer and wheat prices may decrease agricultural productivity and increase food insecurity. The document recommends that Ethiopia increase social protection coverage and enhance domestic productivity to mitigate risks from volatile international commodity prices.
International food and energy prices have sharply increased since 2005 due to a combination of factors including increased biofuel production, a weakening US dollar, and weather events. While price increases hurt the poor, they benefit net food producers. Regional impacts include higher inflation, economic opportunities for some, and fiscal strain for countries with fuel subsidies. Policy responses recommended include rethinking biofuel policies, easing trade restrictions, coordinating grain stockpiles, protecting the poor, and improving agricultural productivity.

Global commodity prices and food security: Navigating new challenges and learning from the past
MAR 9, 2022 - 9:30 TO 11:30AM EST
1) The document discusses rising global food insecurity and the risks posed by factors like poverty, volatile food prices, financial crises, and climate change.
2) It outlines an agenda for research, investment, and action that includes promoting agricultural growth, innovating insurance systems, facilitating open trade, and expanding social protection programs.
3) Key recommendations include tripling investment in agricultural research and innovation, developing new insurance products for smallholders, keeping trade open during food shortages, and protecting vulnerable groups through cash transfers and nutrition programs.
This document discusses rising global food prices and their impact on farmers and poor households. It provides perspectives from the FAO, World Bank, and IFPRI on how both long-term declining prices and short-term price increases threaten food security. While higher prices may benefit selling farmers, they hurt buying households. Most Ugandan households both produce and consume the same commodities. The document proposes creating a price index to analyze effects on rural vs urban and poor vs rich populations, and how this impacts poverty levels over time. Good data and simple tools can help policymakers address these issues.

The document summarizes the effects of COVID-19 on agricultural value chains in Ethiopia. It discusses how measures taken to prevent spread of the virus, such as closing land borders and restricting movement between regional states, have reduced economic activity. It then outlines an assessment of local rural-urban value chains to understand how the pandemic is impacting farmers' incomes, market access, and food security. The assessment will focus on commodities like potatoes, onions, and tomatoes that rely on transportation between rural and urban areas. Recommendations will be made on how to minimize disruptions to the agricultural sector during this crisis.
The document discusses biofuels development in Africa from the perspective of a developing country. It notes that while biofuels can enhance energy security and reduce dependence on oil imports, their production risks displacing food crops and increasing food prices. As global biofuel demand is projected to rapidly increase, Africa is seen as a target region for expansion, but this could worsen poverty and food insecurity if not properly managed. The document argues that a balanced approach is needed where technologies increase agricultural productivity to meet both food and fuel needs, and where countries undertake research to guide biofuel policy and regulate the industry in a way that equitably distributes costs and benefits.

DEC 14, 2022 - 3:00 TO 4:30PM EST
This report summarizes the corporate strategic foresight exercise conducted by FAO on the future of food and agriculture. It identifies key drivers that will shape agrifood systems, analyzes their interactions, and detects weak signals of potential challenges. Four scenarios are presented for 2030 and beyond: continuing on the current path leads to degradation, while achieving sustainability requires trading short-term gains for long-term resilience. The report highlights policy options focused on governance, consumer awareness, wealth distribution, and innovation to trigger transformations toward sustainability. While challenges are significant, the report maintains an optimistic view that collapse can be avoided through coordinated global action.

This document discusses identifying and reforming subsidies that are harmful to biodiversity. It notes the need to scale up biodiversity finance but also reform subsidies that harm biodiversity. It discusses steps to reform such as understanding their effects and developing realistic reform plans. It provides data on agricultural and fisheries subsidies and their potential environmental impacts. It also discusses tracking fossil fuel subsidies and reform guidance being developed at the OECD. Key lessons on overcoming barriers to reform discussed include building an evidence base, stakeholder engagement, consolidating gains, and building alliances.

This document outlines a study on how local actors create origin food labels (OFLs) in response to globalized food systems and their contributions to sustainable territorial development. It presents the research objectives, questions, and theoretical framework. Two case studies are described: a Protected Designation of Origin for Merina sheep cheese from Grazalema, Spain and a quality label for Texel lamb from Texel Island, Netherlands. Lessons are discussed around how OFLs help local producers compete globally and improve livelihoods while coordinating sustainable practices.

This document discusses business strategies for strengthening food value chains and reducing poverty in developing countries. It outlines the opportunity for businesses to engage the "base of the pyramid" market of 3.7 billion people earning $8 or less per day, who spend $1.3 trillion annually on food. 70% of this population depends on the food value chain. The document presents innovative business models that companies are using to engage smallholder farmers and consumers, and empower entrepreneurs through improved access to markets, financing, and infrastructure. It provides design principles for successful models, including creating life-enhancing offerings and collaborating through non-traditional partnerships. Finally, it recommends actions like prioritizing initiatives and facilitating corporate engagement to scale up these approaches
The document discusses the EU's Green Deal and Farm to Fork strategy. It proposes that three main options can help transform the food system to be more sustainable:
1) Bringing in new actors like innovative food companies and retailers to disrupt the system
2) Adding new types of transactions, like markets for ecosystem services or food stamps for sustainable products
3) Forcing current actors like farmers and food companies to internalize external costs and incentivizing more sustainable practices through regulations, emissions trading, and procurement requirements.

The future of food systems: Drivers and triggers for transformationSIANIAgriculture
This document summarizes a presentation on strategic foresight for transforming agrifood systems. It outlines the corporate strategic foresight process, which includes defining agrifood systems, identifying drivers, analyzing interactions, quantitative modeling of scenarios, and developing narratives and policy options. It then discusses key drivers like economic growth and food prices based on historical trends and potential "weak signals" for alternative futures. Finally, it introduces the FAO's four scenarios - "More of the Same", "Adjusted Future", "Race to the Bottom", and "Trading off for Sustainability" - and potential triggers for transforming agrifood systems.
The document summarizes key points from a presentation on OECD Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation in 2021. It makes three main points:
1. Current agricultural support policies are not addressing the triple challenge of ensuring food security, providing livelihoods, and promoting sustainability.
2. Countries need to invest more in sustainable productivity growth and resilience through agricultural innovation.
3. Specific policy recommendations include phasing out market distortions, targeting income support to households in need, and redirecting expenditures toward public goods like innovation.
This document provides an overview and summary of the EU's Farm to Fork strategy and Green Deal initiatives. It discusses the need to transition agriculture and food systems to be more sustainable and environmentally-friendly. The EU proposals aim to reduce fertilizer and pesticide use, increase organic farming and biodiversity on agricultural lands. It also examines some of the challenges, such as ensuring food security during the transition. Options presented for transforming the food system include bringing in new innovative actors, adding new types of market transactions, and forcing current actors to internalize external costs and incentivize more sustainable practices.

It notes that the global economic downturn caused by the pandemic could increase the number of people living in extreme poverty by nearly 150 million. It also finds that a 5% recession would lead to declines in the consumption of nutritious foods like fruits and vegetables. Additionally, the document reports that 21 countries initially imposed export restrictions in response to the pandemic, affecting about 5% of global food trade, though only 2% remain in place currently.

Knowledge as a first step towards less volatile marketsDavid Laborde
1) The document discusses how reducing price volatility in global food markets can be considered a global public good that benefits both consumers and producers.
2) It argues that providing this public good requires global governance and policies that are supported by scientific evidence. The role of knowledge is highlighted to help target market imperfections, guide policymakers, and enable fair international trade.
3) The author presents IFPRI as an organization well-positioned to act as a knowledge broker between Africa and other regions to help address issues of global food price volatility and food security.

Overview of the Multilateral Trade NegotiationsDavid Laborde
Presentation given in Vienna, on April 6th 2010 during a World Bank Institute workshop for MENA experts.
It provides an overview of the WTO/GATT negotiations and presents quantitative estimates.
Papers quoted in this presentation can be downloaded from http://www.ifpri.org/book-6308/ourwork/researcharea/doha-round
The document summarizes the status of negotiations in the Doha Development Round after eight years. It finds that while negotiations have evolved, the core issues remain difficult with an ongoing trade-off between ambition, fairness, and domestic political constraints. Economic modeling is used to analyze the impacts of potential agreements on trade, welfare, and development outcomes. Flexibilities are important for developing countries but come at the cost of reduced gains. An agreement could help secure existing liberalization but the economic and political context may be challenging.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

Building an agenda for farm policy repurposing: lessons learned from recent thread of works
1. Building an agenda for farm
policy repurposing: lessons
learned from recent thread of
works
David Laborde
Markets, Trade and Institution Division
International Food Policy Research Institute
30 November 2021
3. Why Trade Rules Matter for Farm Policies?
WTO rules
contribute to
shaping them:
• Market access,
• domestic support
and,
• export subsidies
(?)
These policies
impact food
systems:
• What is
produced?
• How much is
produced?
• Where it comes
from?
• How it is
produced?
Policy repurposing
will have
• Cross-Border
impacts
• On trade flows
• On global public
goods (e.g.,
GHG Emissions)
4. Clarifications
Policy support occurs
through various ways
and could be accounted
differently
• Role of Notifications
• Role of Policy
Monitoring and
Harmonization efforts
Repurposing is not
about cancelling the old
policy agenda
• It is about updating it
and adding new
missions to the
agriculture and food
systems.
• More goals should
require more money...
and more money may
mean problems...
Repurposing could take
place across
• Products
• Policy Instruments
(and WTO boxes)
• Countries

current farm policies on
agricultural emissions?
2021: What will happen if we
reallocate (some) of this
support to R&D and
sustainable intensification?

support to R&D and
sustainable intensification?

various agricultural support
instruments on nature,
climate, nutrition, health and
equity by 2030
9. 2020: What is the effect of
current farm policies on
agricultural emissions?
2021: What will happen if we
reallocate (some) of this
support to R&D and
sustainable intensification?
2021: Counting the cost of
various agricultural support
instruments on nature,
climate, nutrition, health and
equity by 2030
2021: Reallocating farm
subsidies towards products
with low emissions and/or
high nutrition potential
10. Lessons Learned:
Limited Opportunities and careful planning is needed
Removing existing
policies will
Hurt farmers overall (with some
benefits in developing countries)
Will slightly help the poor and
the hungry IF border protection
is removed
Reduce global emissions,
mainly through a contraction of
production and land
abandonment
So, Repurposing is
required
Investment in Sustainable
Intensification is required.
Investing in “traditional”
productivity gains will not deliver
Border Polices and Domestic
Support have, in most of the
cases, opposite effects on diets
Input subsidies are a tricky issue
Focusing on
healthy/environmental
friendly products
Could contribute to reduce the
cost of healthy diets but has
limited impact when using
producer subsidies
Risk for governments to pick the
wrong "good" products
Phasing out resources from
staples could have a small
impact on undernourishment
12. Guidance for trade rules
Current WTO rules are not
an obstacle for repurposing,
but they provide weak
incentives or guidelines.
Blue box policies, especially
for livestock, are a significant
potential to curb GHG
emissions.
Repurposing could involve
significant box shifting
towards Green Box , and
abuse of existing flexibilities
Assessing price support
through historic reference
price is not consistent with a
transformation agenda
In the future, soul searching
for the WTO members:
should the rules focus on
“do no harm” or “do good”
Disciplining Overall Trade
Distorting Support is not
synonymous to improve
Social and Environmental
impacts of farm policies
Increase Transparency and
Monitoring (Notifications) will
be essential to promote trust
and coordination in the global
repurposing process
Tariffs remain an awkward
instrument to guide
repurposing
Border Tax Adjustments are a
second-best option
Discriminatory use will be a
source of dispute and also
inefficiencies
