Reforming Water Allocation Policy Through Markets in Tradable Water Rights: Lessons From Chile, Mexico, and California
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rosegrant,   Mark W.; Gazmuri,   Renato S.
Increasing water scarcity, rising costs of irrigation subsidies, and general economic liberalization are creating strong incentives for comprehensive water reform with establishment of tradable water rights and the development of markets in these rights. Experiences in Chile, Mexico, and California indicate that water allocation through markets in tradable water rights offers a viable approach to improving the efficiency of water allocation, and should receive serious consideration from developing country policy makers. Laws establishing tradable rights should be simple and comprehensive, should clearly define the characteristics of water rights and the conditions and regulations governing the trade of water rights; should establish and implement water...

Meeting the food needs of the world’s growing population while reducing poverty and protecting the environment is a major global challenge. Genetically modified crops appear to provide a promising option to deal with this challenge. However there is a need to make strategic decisions on how to spend limited agricultural research funds in order to achieve a maximum impact with regard to finding sustainable solutions to end hunger and poverty. In international development institutions, there is growing interest in the potential use of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) as part of a research based Environmental Management System (EMS) to promote mainstreaming of environmental considerations in policy development. SEA was developed as an approach to...

Agricultural research and productivity growth in India
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Evenson,   Robert E.; Pray,   Carl E.; Rosegrant,   Mark W.
India’s investments in agricultural research, extension, and irrigation have made it one of the largest publicly funded systems in the world. But some policymakers who perceive that the benefits to research may be declining are advocating a cut back on public spending on research. This research report, which examines the effects of research and development on productivity in India, finds that India is still benefiting from these investments. The main sources of agricultural productivity growth in India during 1956–87 were public agricultural research and extension; expansion of irrigated area and rural infrastructure and improvement in human capital were also important contributors. The report also shows that the public benefits from private research can...

SUSTAINABILITY ANALYSIS FOR IRRIGATION WATER MANAGEMENT: CONCEPTS, METHODOLOGY, AND APPLICATION TO THE ARAL SEA REGION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Cai,   Ximing; McKinney,   Daene C.; Rosegrant,   Mark W.
Sustainable irrigation water management should simultaneously achieve two objectives: sustaining irrigated agriculture for food security and preserving the associated natural environment. A stable relationship should be maintained between these two objectives now and in the future, while potential conflicts between these objectives should be mitigated through appropriate irrigation practices. Lessons learned from unsustainable water management practices around the world demonstrate the necessity—and growing urgency—of applying sustainability principles to water management in river basins where irrigation is a major factor. This paper presents the operational concepts and analytical framework for sustainability analysis of irrigation water management in...

Green Revolution Counterfactuals
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Evenson,   Robert E.; Rosegrant,   Mark W.; Msangi,   Siwa; Sulser,   Timothy B.
In this paper, we conduct two “"counterfactual" simulations for the 30-year period 1970-2000-the first holding 1970 crop genetic improvements (CGI) constant and the second presuming the International Agricultural Research Center (IARC) system had not been built. Both these counterfactuals apply to developing countries only. The core estimates on which the counterfactuals are based include country fixed effects , and the key estimates are for the Dietary Energy Sufficiency (DES) equation. DES affects birth rates, death rates, child mortality rates and malnutrition rates, making it possible to “"endogenize”" population growth in developing countries, in the counterfactuals.  Reduced DES levels (from reduced CGI contributions) will lead to more births, more...

THE EFFECT OF FERTILISER ON RISK: A HETEROSCEDASTIC PRODUCTION FUNCTION WITH MEASURABLE STOCHASTIC INPUTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rosegrant,   Mark W.; Roumasset,   James A.
The sources of production risk are many and diverse in nature. Estimating risk as a black box, without explicit recognition of its sources, can lead to inferior estimates of optimal inputs under risk aversion. In this paper, a method is presented for estimating production functions with measurable stochastic inputs and for generating the parameters of the probability distributions of yield for various environments and input levels. Based on this method, it appears that moderate risk aversion can account for a 6.7 per cent to 16.7 per cent reduction in nitrogen use (relative to the risk-neutral solution) for selected rice producing areas of the Philippines. Estimating optimal inputs without environment specific information about the sources of risk leads to...

INTEGRATED ECONOMIC-HYDROLOGIC WATER MODELING AT THE BASIN SCALE: THE MAIPO RIVER BASIN
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rosegrant,   Mark W.; Ringler,   Claudia; McKinney,   Daene C.; Cai,   Ximing; Keller,   Andrew; Donoso,   Guillermo.
Increasing competition for water across sectors increases the importance of the river basin as the appropriate unit of analysis to address the challenges facing water resources management; and modeling at this scale can provide essential information for policymakers in their resource allocation decisions. This paper introduces an integrated economic-hydrologic modeling framework that accounts for the interactions between water allocation, farmer input choice, agricultural productivity, nonagricultural water demand, and resource degradation in order to estimate the social and economic gains from improvement in the allocation and efficiency of water use. The model is applied to the Maipo River Basin in Chile. Economic benefits to water use are evaluated for...

Impacts of considering climate variability on investment decisions in Ethiopia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Block,   Paul J.; Strzepek,   Kenneth M.; Rosegrant,   Mark W.; Diao,   Xinshen.
Extreme interannual variability of precipitation within Ethiopia is not uncommon, inducing droughts or floods and often creating serious repercussions on agricultural and non-agricultural commodities. An agro-economic model, including mean climate variables, was developed to assess irrigation and road construction investment strategies in comparison to a baseline scenario over a 12-year time horizon. The motivation for this work is to evaluate whether the inclusion of climate variability in the model has a significant effect on prospective investment strategies and the resulting country-wide economy. The mean climate model is transformed into a variable climate model by dynamically adding yearly climate-yield factors, which influence agricultural...

Autores: Gonzales,   Leonardo A.; Kasryno,   Faisal; Perez,   Nicostrato D.; Rosegrant,   Mark W.
Recognizing that the green revolution has resulted in considerable success in production of rice and wheat in many Asian countries, which are now self-sufficient or surpluses in these cereals, IFPRI believes that further growth in agriculture will rely on the productivity of these countries to diversify their agricultural production, while improving productivity in cereals through management and human capital-intensive increase in yield levels. Indonesia is an important example of a country where policy successes in rice production combined with other domestic and world developments in the economic environment of agriculture encouraged policymakers to consider agricultural diversification policies. Key developments leading to an increased interest in...

Pricing behavior in Philippine Corn Markets: Implications For Market Efficiency
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mendoz,   Meyra Sebello; Rosegrant,   Mark W.
Income-led growth in demand for meat is expected to provide the major stimulus for expansion in the Philippine corn sector. Traditionally eaten as a cheaper carbohydrate substituting for rice by many Filipinos, corn is now increasingly being used to grow corn, which has displaced rice as the most important crop in terms of cultivated area.  In recent years, the Philippine government had vigorously pursued a series of sectoral and economy wide policy reforms to invigorate the corn sector and support the feed requirements of the livestock industry. These reforms include more liberal foreign exchange policies, lifting of control over domestic marketing operations, deregulation of the interisland transportation system, and production- augmenting programs.

Feeding the world’s population is an ongoing challenge that incorporates issues such as economic growth and equity, sustainable natural resource management, agricultural research and technology innovation, and effective institutions and governance. Many emerging factors will affect our ability to address this challenge into the future, as we respond to population growth, resource degradation and scarcity, climate change and so on. To a large extent, agricultural production growth will depend on irrigation, but the future of irrigation water supplies is increasingly constrained by competition for water from other sectors. Declining water quality, falling groundwater tables, and growing environmental demands for water are further constraints, and...

Autores: You,   Liangzhi; Rosegrant,   Mark W.; Fang,   Cheng; Wood,   Stanley.
Climate change continues to have major impact on crop productivity all over the world. While many researchers have evaluated the possible impact of global warming on crop yields using mainly indirect crop simulation models, there are relatively few direct assessments on the impact of observed climate change on past crop yield and growth. We use a 1979-2000 Chinese crop-specific panel dataset to investigate the climate impact on Chinese wheat yield growth. We find that a 1 percent increase in wheat growing season temperature reduces wheat yields by about 0.3 percent. This negative impact is less severe than those reported in other regions. Rising temperature over the past two decades accounts for a 2.4 percent decline in wheat yields in China while the...

Total Factor Productivity and Sources of Long-term Growth in Indian Agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rosegrant,   Mark W.; Evenson,   Robert E.
This paper assesses total factor productivity (TFP) growth in India, examines the  sources of productivity growth, including public and private investment, and estimates the  rates of return to public investments in agriculture.  The results show that significant TFP  growth in the Indian crops sector was produced by investments -- primarily in research -- but  also in extension, markets, and irrigation.  The high rates of return, particularly to public  agricultural  research  and  extension,  indicate  that  the  Government  of  India  is  not  over  investing in agricultural research and investment, but rather that current levels of public  investment could be profitably expanded.

In this research, the quality of foreign japonica rices was evaluated in terms of prices relative  to  Japanese  domestic  retail  prices.    Then,  retail  prices,  consumer  benefit,  and  competitiveness among the foreign rices in the Japanese market were estimated assuming  those  rices  were  imported  at  prices  based  on  their  production  and  transportation  costs.   According to the results, rices produced in China are quite superior to rices grown in the  United States.  Further, a 700 percent of tariff, which was discussed in the GATT negotiation  and assumed to be imposed on rices imported to Japan, appears to be too low for Chinese  rices and too high for American rices.

The combined per capita consumption of meat, eggs, and milk in developing countries grew by about 50 per cent from the early 1970s to the early 1990s. As incomes rise and cities swell, people in the developing world are diversifying their diets to include a variety of meats, eggs, and dairy products. This trend toward diversified eating habits is likely to continue for some time to come and it has led to considerable controversy about the risks and opportunities involved. Some observers fear that greatly increased demand for feed grains will raise the price of cereals to the poor. Others are concerned that higher concentration of livestock production near cities adds to pollution. Still others worry about the public health effects of increased consumption...

Water Resources in the Twenty-First Century: Challenges and Implications for Action
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rosegrant,   Mark W.
The defining issues of the twenty-first century may well be the control of water resources. In the next 30 years it is likely that water shortages will increase dramatically. While water supplies are dwindling because of groundwater depletion, waste, and pollution, demand is rising fast.  Currently 338 million people are subject to sometime severe water shortages, and by 2025 this number is projected to jump to about 3 billion. The worsening scarcity of water threatens agricultural growth and industrial production and is likely to increase water-related health problems and degrade the environment. In light of these prospects, water issues have been a central theme of IFPRI’s 2020 Vision initiative, which seeks to develop an international consensus on how...

DOES EFFICIENT WATER MANAGEMENT MATTER? PHYSICAL AND ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF WATER USE IN THE RIVER BASIN
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Cai,   Ximing; Ringler,   Claudia; Rosegrant,   Mark W.
With growing water scarcity and increasing competition across water-using sectors, the need for water savings and more efficient water use has increased in importance in water resources management. Improvement in the physical efficiency of water use is related to water conservation through increasing the fraction of water beneficially used over water applied, while enhancing economic efficiency is a broader concept seeking the highest economic value of water use through both physical and managerial measures. Physical and economic efficiency measures are both useful indicators for water management at the irrigation system and river basin level. However, the relationship between physical efficiency and economic efficiency is not always clear and the values...

Under the medium-variant scenario for the uncertain capture fisheries sectors, global production of food fish is projected to rise by 1.5% annually through 2020, with two-thirds of this from aquaculture, whose share in total food fish production rises to 41%. Global per capita fish consumption is projected to be 17.1 kg in 2020, with sensitivity analysis indicating a margin of 2 kg/capita...

Autores: Delgado,   Christopher L.; Rosegrant,   Mark W.; Meijer,   Siet.
This paper was presented at the INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN LIVESTOCK PRODUCTS SYMPOSIUM in Auckland, New Zealand, January 18-19, 2001.  The Symposium was sponsored by: the International Agricultural Trade Research Consortium, the Venture Trust, Massey University, New Zealand, and the Centre for Applied Economics and Policy Studies, Massey University.  Dietary changes, especially in developing countries, are driving a massive increase in demand for livestock products.  The objective of this symposium was to examine the consequences of this phenomenon, which some have even called a "revolution." How are dietary patterns changing, and can increased demands for livestock products be satisfied from domestic resources? If so, at what cost?  What will be the flow-on...

IRRIGATION AND WATER RESOURCES IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN: CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ringler,   Claudia; Rosegrant,   Mark W.; Paisner,   Michael S.
Latin America and the Caribbean are relatively well endowed with water resources. However, population growth and rapid urbanization are putting considerable pressure on water available for irrigation. Local and regional water scarcity problems are exacerbated by severe water quality problems; and wastewater is frequently used for irrigation. Moreover, prospects for new investments into irrigation development appear limited. This paper examines the factors underlying irrigation development in Latin America and the Caribbean, reviews the water supply situation, and describes trends in water demand and irrigated agriculture. The overall water management in the region is assessed, and recent trends in investments in the water sector, with a focus on...

Confronting the environmental consequences of the Green Revolution in Asia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pingali,   Prabhu L.; Rosegrant,   Mark W.
Intensive double or triple monocropping of rice has caused degradation of the paddy micro environment and reductions in rice yield growth in many irrigated areas in Asia. Problems include increased pest infestation, mining of soil micronutrients, reductions in nutrient-carrying capacity of the soil, build-up of soil toxicity, and salinity and waterlogging. Emerging sustainability problems in intensive rice agriculture show the need for a greater understanding of the physical, biological and ecological consequences of agricultural intensification and greater research attention to long term management of the agricultural resource base.

World food markets into the 21st century: environmental and resource constraints and policies
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rosegrant,   Mark W.; Ringler,   Claudia.
Projections of global food supply and demand to the year 2020 indicate that food production in the aggregate is likely to keep pace with growing populations and incomes, and that real food prices will be stable or slowly declining. This article examines the possible environmental and resource constraints to long‐term food production growth and explores the implications of these possible constraints for food and resource policies. The article reviews and synthesises the evidence on biophysical limits to crop productivity; plant genetic resources and biotechnology; the availability of plant nutrients; soil and land degradation; the increasing scarcity and declining quality of water; and the impact of global climate change on agriculture.

Autores: von Braun,   Joachim; Rosegrant,   Mark W.; Pandya-Lorch,   Rajul; Cohen,   Marc J.; Cline,   Sarah A.; Brown,   Mary Ashby; Bos,   Maria Soledad.
Given the number of undernourished people in the developing world and the increasingly complex risks to food security, policymakers are faced with an enormous agenda. Freeing people from hunger will require more and better-targeted investments, innovations, and policy actions, driven by a keen understanding of the dynamic risks and forces that shape the factors affecting people’s access to food and the links with nutrition. The International Food Policy Research Institute’s (IFPRI’s) International Model for Policy Analysis of Agricultural Commodities and Trade (IMPACT) provides insight into the management of these risks through appropriate policy actions. By projecting future global food scenarios to 2050, IMPACT explores the potential implications of...

World Food Prospects: Critical Issues For the Early Twenty-First Century
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pinstrup-Andersen,   Per; Pandya-Lorch,   Rajul; Rosegrant,   Mark W.
About 73 million people will be added to the world’s population every year between 1995 and 2020, increasing it by 32 percent to reach 7.5 billion. Much of this population growth will occur in the cities of the developing world. While its rural population is expected to increase by less than 300 million during this period, the developing world’s urban population could double to 3.4 billion in 2020. Per capita incomes are expected to increase in all major developing regions over this period. Meeting the food needs of a growing and urbanizing population with rising incomes will have profound implications for the world’s agricultural production and trading systems in coming decades. IFPRI research suggests some of the major developments that will characterize...

Modeling Water Resources Management at the Basin Level: Methodology and Application to the Maipo River Basin
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Cai,   Ximing; Ringler,   Claudia; Rosegrant,   Mark W.
Limited water resources are increasingly constrained by growing water demand for agricultural, industrial, and domestic uses, which in turn exacerbates environmental degradation and water-quality problems. This research report develops and applies a comprehensive decision-support tool for examining these issues at the river-basin level—the natural unit of analysis for water allocation and use. Authors Ximing Cai, Claudia Ringler, and Mark Rosegrant develop an integrated hydrologic– economic river-basin model, simulating water flows, salinity balances, and crop growth under water-allocation scenarios. One of the main advantages of the model is its ability to reflect the dynamic interactions of essential hydrologic, agronomic, and economic components and to...

GLOBAL FOOD DEMAND AND THE CONTRIBUTION OF LIVESTOCK AS WE ENTER THE NEW MILLENNIUM
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Delgado,   Christopher L.; Courbois,   Claude B.; Rosegrant,   Mark W.
People in developed countries currently consume about 3 to 4 times as much meat and fish, and 5 to 6 times as much milk products per capita as in developing Asia and Africa. Meat, milk, and fish consumption per capita has barely grown in the developed countries as a whole over the past 20 years. Yet poor people everywhere clearly desire to eat more animal protein products as their incomes rise above poverty level and as they become urbanized. Growth in per capita consumption and production has in fact occurred in regions such as developing Asia, and most particularly China. Per capita consumption of animal proteins and use of cereals as feed in Asia have both grown in the 3 to 5 percent per annum range over the past 20 years. By 2020, according to IFPRI’s...

Security Analysis for Agroterrorism: Applying the Threat, Vulnerability, Consequence Framework to Developing Countries
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Linacre,   Nicholas A.; Koo,   Bonwoo; Rosegrant,   Mark W.; Msangi,   Siwa; Falck-Zepeda,   Jose Benjamin; Gaskell,   Joanne; Komen,   John; Cohen,   Marc J.; Birner,   Regina.
In some developing countries the potential exists for agroterrorism to cause widespread disruption through loss of sustenance, income and production. Defense of agriculture may also be problematic because of the lack stability and basic biosecurity infrastructure for the detection and prevention of diseases or invasive species. Currently new methodological approaches for terrorism risk assessments are being actively explored for resource prioritization. One such methodology for risk based allocation of resources is Threat, Vulnerability, and Consequence (TVC) Analysis. A qualitative application of the TVC framework is used to analyze the risk of agroterrorism in developing countries relative to industrialized countries. The analysis suggests that evidence...

Conference on Agricultural Sustainability, Growth, and Poverty Alleviation in East and Southeast Asia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Witcover,   Julie; Rosegrant,   Mark W.
This first in a series of regional conferences on this subject brought together more than fifty agricultural scientists and policymakers from China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, and from international agricultural research centers and the Asian Development Bank to discuss how best to promote "sustainable agricultural intensification"—natural resource management that safeguards productivity of the natural resource base while meeting economic growth and poverty alleviation objectives. The regional conference series began in East and Southeast Asia partly because of the area's already broad experience with intensified farming systems on high potential lands alongside shifting cultivation, or upland or hillside cultivation, on more...

The World Food Situation: Recent Developments, Emerging Issues, and Long-Term Prospects
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pinstrup-Andersen,   Per; Pandya-Lorch,   Rajul; Rosegrant,   Mark W.
During the next quarter century the world will produce enough food to meet the demand of people who can afford to buy it, and real food prices will continue to decline. However, if the global community continues with business as usual, prospects for food security will be bleak for millions of people and degradation of natural resources will continue. IFPRI projections suggest that in developing countries as many as 150 million children—one out of four preschool children—could remain malnourished in 2020. In many developing countries food production is unlikely to keep pace with increases in the demand for food by growing populations. The “food gap”—the difference between production and demand for food—could more than double in the developing world during...
