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 version 3
• Disaggregation geographically and by commodity
• Improved water & crop models
• New data management system
• Modular framework
• Training
2. Stronger community of practice
• 13 CGIAR centers now participating in GFSF• IFPRI, Bioversity, CIAT, CIMMYT,
CIP, ICARDA, ICRAF, ICRISAT, IITA, ILRI, IRRI, IWMI, WorldFish; AfricaRice and CIFOR joining
• Collaboration with other global economic modeling groups through AgMIP
• Role of agricultural technologies
• Africa regional reports
• Analyses by CGIAR centers
• CCAFS regional studies
• AgMIP global economic assessments
