CIP progress report
Athanasios PetsakosGuy Hareau
International Potato Center (CIP)
25-28 May 2015Rome, Italy
Global Futures & Strategic Foresight extended team meeting
Training
• IMPACT training (January – Moscow)• Gridded crop modeling training (April – ICRISAT)• DSSAT training (May – University of Georgia, Griffin)
Activities since the last meeting
• Use of IMPACT for the assessment of new technologies:– Comparison with RTB priority setting exercise
• IPR review for (sweet-) potatoes – Analyze past growth rates and estimate future ones– Focus on South Asia (focus changed after the latest discussions…)
• Introducing biotic stresses in IMPACT – Still exploring…
IMPACT3 FOR PRIORITY ASSESSMENTAlternative model uses
Priority assessment at CIP
Some background:In 2014, CIP conducted a priority assessment study for RTB on potato (and sweetpotato) technologies:Hareau, G., Kleinwechter, U., Pradel, W., Suarez, V., Okello, J., Vikraman, S. (2014). Strategic Assessment of Research Priorities for Potato. CGIAR Research program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas (RTB). RTB Working Paper 2014-8. Lima, Peru. Available online at: www.rtb.cgiar.org• Strong interest from the RTB independent evaluation team on how the results of ex-ante priority setting work are used to define the RTB research portfolio.• Final publication of RTB priority setting working papers will acknowledge cross-CRP collaboration (PIM, CCAFS).
IMPACT for priority assessment
Questions asked:• What changes are needed to IMPACT if we want to use it for priority assessment?• What changes are needed to IMPACT and CIP’s surplus model to create a common framework for comparison?• How do IMPACT results compare with those from the surplus model?
Comparison challenges
• IMPACT FPUs do not correspond to the FPUs of the surplus model• Yield shifters can be defined only for 5-year periods
– Solution 1: Use Ricky’s modeling system (DSSAT)**– Solution 2: Rewrite the code– Solution 3: Who needs year-specific shifters anyway…?
• Dissemination costs not modeled in IMPACT– Solution 1: Rewrite the code – Solution 2: Export results and perform analysis outside of IMPACT

IPR VALIDATION AND CALIBRATIONThe example of China
The basics…
Rationale:• IMPACT base year is 2005 but we are in 2015…• Before projecting to 2050, we must establish a valid initial point !!!Question :Is adjusting yield growth rates sufficient?

BIOTIC CROP STRESS IN IMPACTA preliminary skirmish
Thoughts on pests and diseases modeling
• Discussed in Florida (Feb2014)• CIP’s pest modeling team focuses on the tomato leaf miner Tuta absoluta• Discussions to understand what is being modeled and what outputs are available:
– We need to understand what “technologies” are available– Who is the end user of the technologies– How much does it cost– How all this translates in yield shifts
Next steps and discussion
• Must work with the IMPACT team to “standardize” a calibration procedure– Exogenous land growth rates important
• Scheduled:– Complete the activities described
• Not in workplan but interesting…: – Conduct regional impact assessments to obtain better adoption thresholds for some countries (also discussed in ReMIP/AgMIP)
