Assessing the Impact of Agricultural R&D Investments on Long-Term Projections of Food Security
Original language description
The purpose of this chapter is to analyze the impact of public agricultural Research and Development (RD) investments on agricultural productivity and long-term food security to derive policy recommendations. The methodological approach is based on the application of the state-of-the art Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model to RD. By endogenizing RD in global CGE models, it is possible to assess the impact of different public RD policies on the food availability and food access of food security. This study found that RD investments bring positive effects on the food access dimension of food security, particularly in places such as Sub-Saharan Africa where prices are expected to grow significantly by 2050, as agricultural land becomes scarcer and more expensive. Doubling the RD intensity would soften the land constraints and substantially decelerate food prices, thus preventing the deterioration of living standards of rural households and leading to a gain in daily caloric consumpt
