Scenarios
2050 No Climate Change (NoCC)
• Population and income trends from SSP2
• Baseline scenario that includes “business-as-usual”
continuation of current trends in markets and development
• Climate held constant at 2005 levels
2050 with Climate Change (CC)
• Same baseline assumptions as above for “business-as-usual”
• Climate follows relatively severe model representation
(HadGEM) of the warmest future climate scenario (RCP 8.5)
8. 7
2050 with Climate Change and Comprehensive
Investment Portfolio (COMP)
• Increases reference agricultural sector investments in climate change
scenario (starting in 2015)
• R&D: Additional CGIAR system investments in agricultural R&D to
increase agricultural productivity in the developing world (specified at
crop- and region-specific level in consultation with other CGIAR
centers)
• Water: Expansion of irrigation systems along with enhancing water
use efficiency and soil management (minimum-till, ISFM, rainwater
harvesting)
• Infrastructure: Infrastructure investment in transportation and energy
sectors to benefit agricultural production and value chains

Accelerate Investments in Agricultural R&D
Invest in technologies for:
Crop and livestock breeding
• High-yielding varieties
• Biotic- and abiotic-stress resistant varieties
Modernize breeding programs in developing countries through
• Provision of genomics
• High throughput gene-sequencing
• Gene editing
• Bio-informatics
GMOs where sufficient genetic variation does not exist in the
crop
• Nitrogen use efficiency
• Drought, heat and salinity tolerance
• Insect and disease resistance
18. 17
Promote Complementary Policies and Investments
Invest in rural infrastructure and irrigation
Increase access to high-value supply chains and markets
e.g. fruits and vegetables
Regulatory reform: reduce hurdles to approval and
release of new cultivars and technologies
Remove impediments (e.g. restrictive “notified” crop lists,
excessive testing and certification requirements, foreign
investment barriers, ad hoc biosafety decision-making)
Extension of farming systems: minimum tillage, ISFM,
integrated pest management, precision agriculture
19. 18
Reform Economic Policies
Support open trading regimes to share climate risk
Establishment of secure water rights and
implementation of economic incentives for efficient
water
Reduce subsidies that distort production decisions and
encourage water use beyond economically appropriate
levels
• Fertilizer, energy, water subsidies
• Savings invested in activities that boost farm output and
income
