Agriculture for development has three basic functions
1. Major driver of growth in countries where
agriculture generates significant share of
GDP
2. Source of food security and livelihoods
(especially for poor and in rural areas)
3. Integrate risk management & resilience to
climate change via better natural resource
management

Recent increase in food prices
• May have already pushed 100 million people into poverty over the last two years.
• The doubling of food prices could set back the fight against poverty by 7 years.
• For more than 2 billion people, high food prices are now a matter of daily struggle, sacrifice, and even survival.
![Page 22: “The Future of Agriculture” - · PDF fileThe World Development Report - 2008 Erick Fernandes, ... Kcal consumption/capita/day: ... Increasingcosts of energy, ...Published in: EMBO](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051723/5aaf508f7f8b9aa8438d23b4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The stakes are high
• Rising food prices risk losing recent gains in reducing malnutrition. Malnutrition threatens this -- and future -- generations.
• Already hunger and malnutrition are the underlying causes of death of over 3.5 million children every year.
• Not a temporary phenomenon – high food prices are expected to stay high in the medium term (above 2004 levels through to 2015).
![Page 23: “The Future of Agriculture” - · PDF fileThe World Development Report - 2008 Erick Fernandes, ... Kcal consumption/capita/day: ... Increasingcosts of energy, ...Published in: EMBO](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051723/5aaf508f7f8b9aa8438d23b4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Why have food prices risen?
Main drivers of food price inflation
Fundamentals Supply and Demand
INCREASING DEMAND: Sustained food demand from emerging markets, especially demand for protein and fresh fruits and vegetables – e.g., Russia, China and India Diet changes, from grain to more diversified diet, meats and dairy with higher derived demand for grains and oilseeds Biofuel mandates => demand shift, particularly in the United States (cornbased ethanol), and Europe (rapeseed for biodiesel), Argentina (soybeans for biodiesel)
![Page 24: “The Future of Agriculture” - · PDF fileThe World Development Report - 2008 Erick Fernandes, ... Kcal consumption/capita/day: ... Increasingcosts of energy, ...Published in: EMBO](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051723/5aaf508f7f8b9aa8438d23b4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Why have food prices risen?
Main drivers of food price inflation
Fundamentals Supply and Demand
DECREASING SUPPLY:
Very low stock to use ratio for grains due to:
Shortfalls in grain production due to droughts in Australia, Canada, Eastern Europe
Disappearance of intervention stocks in USA and EU due to policy reforms
Competition from biofuels
![Page 25: “The Future of Agriculture” - · PDF fileThe World Development Report - 2008 Erick Fernandes, ... Kcal consumption/capita/day: ... Increasingcosts of energy, ...Published in: EMBO](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051723/5aaf508f7f8b9aa8438d23b4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Why have food prices risen?
Main drivers of food price inflation
Fundamentals Supply and Demand
INCREASING PRODUCTION COSTS Increasing costs of energy, fertilizer and other commodity dependent agricultural inputs
DECLINING DOLLAR Declining dollar drives up prices of all commodities, including agrocommodities.
SPECULATION AND INFLATION HEDGE Inflow of funds causes commodities to diverge from trading on their fundamentals
![Page 26: “The Future of Agriculture” - · PDF fileThe World Development Report - 2008 Erick Fernandes, ... Kcal consumption/capita/day: ... Increasingcosts of energy, ...Published in: EMBO](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051723/5aaf508f7f8b9aa8438d23b4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Major policy messages
• Avoid short-term responses to short-term food insecurity that have difficult longer-term implications
• Short-run instruments affect income distribution (by definition), and may create rents that require planning exit strategies in advance
• Short-run instruments that work well in one situation may not in another, depending on:
– institutions, capacity
– governance requirements
– size of country and history of trade, etc.
• Promote new opportunities for longer-term
agricultural growth

• Making growth pro-poor
– Connecting smallholders to most profitable markets, whether old or new
– Improving assets of the poor, especially women
– Scaling up to achieve aggregate impact
• Implementation bottlenecks
– Underinvestment in core public goods
– Weaknesses in governance (new state roles, coordination, decentralization)

Challenges
Improving governance to implement agriculture-fordevelopment agendas
• Double weakness of governance as a hurdle
– State weakest in poor countries
– Capacity weak in agriculture vs other sectors
• Improving governance at national and global levels
– National and local: cross-sectoral coordination, capacity of MinAg, decentralization
– Global--coordinate for complex and inter-related issues (trade restrictions, climate change, animal diseases, biodiversity, standards)

Projected climate change impacts on agriculture
• Reduction in crop yields and agriculture productivity
• Increased incidence of pest attacks • Limit the availability of water • Exacerbation of drought periods • Reduction in soil fertility • Lower livestock productivity and higher
production cost • Lower availability of human resource and
lower labor productivity

Much adaptation = good development
• Promoting growth and diversification
• Investing in research and development,
education and health
• Creating markets in water and environmental
services (carbon, biodiversity, hydrology)
• Improving international trade system
• Enhancing resilience to disasters and improving
disaster management
• Promoting risk management and risk-sharing,
including social safety nets

Action steps
• Build adaptive capacity through appropriate management of year to year climate variability.
• Recognize that year to year climate variability is superimposed on a slowly evolving background climate, and present observed and forecast information in such a way that longer term trends can be disentangled from shorter term variability.
• Provide appropriate information on near term climate change associated with both on-going trends and decadal scale fluctuations.

Climate Change Opportunity –
financial flows for mitigation
• Comparative financial flows:
– Annual ODA: $100 billion
– Annual FDI in developing countries: $150 billion
– Annual GDI in developing countries: $1500 billion
– Incremental annual investment required for adaptation
to climate risk (World Bank): $40 billion
• Potential annual cost of emission reductions in
developing country : $150-250 billion
- Could be transformed into beneficial income flows
through cap-and-trade scheme and carbon trading

Pro-poor climate mitigation policy
• Thus, climate change policy, if designed
appropriately, can generate income for
small farmers and investment flows for
rural communities
• Requires effective integration from global
governance of carbon trading, to sectoral
and micro-level design of markets and
contracts, and investment in community
management

What remains to be done?
Agriculture remains fundamental for development!!
1. Accelerate smallholder productivity increases for agricultural growth and food security in Africa
2. Follow a comprehensive approach to reduce sectoral disparities and poverty in transforming countries of Asia
3. Enhance sustainability and environmental services from agriculture & market mechanisms for PES
4. Pursue multiple pathways out of poverty: smallholder farming, labor market, RNFE, migration
5. Improve the quality of governance in agriculture at local, national, and global levels.

World Development Report 2007 Key recommendations
• Doha must progress –
– Progress on eliminating anti-poor policies such as cotton subsidies – Supporting policies for smallholder trade supply response – Protection of food staples costly and often inequitable – Subsidies can be used BUT with attention to market development
and equity
• GMOs have unrealized potential for the poor and especially in the face of climate change – but with attention to bio-safety
• IPRs must be tailored to country and commodity specifics—with attention to humanitarian access
• Biofuels will be important
– Improve efficiency and address tradeoffs--food prices, the environment, and opportunity cost of subsidies
• Climate change requires urgent attention
– Urgency of funding mitigation and adaptation for poor countries – Extend carbon financing to provide agricultural incentives (agro
forestry, avoided deforestation) 46

Periodic Assessment of Progress
• Through SDN Task Force on Operationalization of WDR08
– Participation from all SDN Anchor Units the Regions, DEC and IFC
• Terms of Reference:
– Review current Regional/Anchor FY08/09 work programs, using the WDR 2008 as a tool
– Identify possible changes in the FY08/09 work programs that might emerge from that review
– Aggregate insights from ongoing prep of Regional action plans to discern trends, identify opportunities for synergy
