By 2050 World Would Need to Feed 9 Billion+ PeopleFAO Projects:

– Almost all population and income growth will arise in developing countries, particularly in Asia and SSA

– Cereal Production (Net of Biofuels) would need to increase by 70%– Meat production by 220%, – Cereal Imports of Developing countries will increase by 220%

Page 8: Water, Food, Energy and Institutions: Inextricably Linked by Uma Lele

Will Food Supply Keep up With Growing Demand?Sources of Demand are Well Understood•Population Growth:

• All in LDCs•Income Growth •Mostly in LDCs•Urbanization:

• Up from 50% to 70%•Shift in Food Preferences:

• Rice, Wheat, Maize, Soybeans for Feed:

•Biofuels: maize, oilseeds•Processed Foods

Increased Risk and Uncertainty on the Supply Side•Climate Change•Limits to Land, Water, Soils, Biodiversity, Forests, Fisheries •Energy shortages and subsidies,•Last Frontiers?

• Brazil, SSA?•Increased Risks and Uncertainty (from climates, global market integration)•Slowing Productivity Growth•Stagnant Investment levels in R and D•Interlinked International Markets

WHERE IS LAND?

Where Is Water for Food?

Two Likely Future Scenarios of Growth in Food Production

Further Intensification of Agriculture Will be required in Asia

•80% to 90% of increase in production will have to come from agricultural intensification

• Increased yields per ha• Changing cropping patters• Multiple cropping on unit of

land

Area Expansion: and Intensification in SSA> three times the cerrados in Brazil?

More Crop Per Drop?Regional Productivity Growth in Parts of China has been higher than anywhere elsewhere on a a scaled up basis”Top Ten Provinces

The top ten provinces in TFP growth for the 1985-2007 period. Six of them are on the east coast

Improved Water Management in East and South East Asia and Scope for Knowledge Transfers/ South – South Learning: China and Vietnam and South Asia

1. In China and Viet Nam, agriculture water withdrawal as a percentage of total national water withdrawal has declined from 92.5 and 88.2 in 1990 to 68.1 and 67.7 in 2000 (FAO) and to 60% according to latest data (Khalid Mohtadullah)

2. Incentivized Irrigation Bureaucrats in China have helped improved water management ( Tushaar Shah)

3. Successful innovations in Gujarat in India

Note: The above figure shows FAO’s regular program budget is funded by its members, through contributions, adjusted to the Euro/US dollar exchange rate fixed by the FAO Conference. This budget covers core technical work, cooperation and partnerships including the Technical Cooperation Program, knowledge exchange, policy and advocacy, direction and administration, governance and security.The FAO’s regular budget for the biennium 2010-2011 has been increased by 7.6% to US$ 1000.5 million from the biennium 2008–2009 US$ 929.8 million, adjusted to the Euro/US dollar exchange rate fixed by the FAO Conference. Member states froze FAO's budget from 1994 through 2001 at US$650 million per biennium. The budget was raised slightly to US$651.8 million for 2002–03 and jumped to US$749 million for 2004–05, but this nominal increase was seen as a decline in real terms. In November 2005, the FAO governing Conference voted for a two-year budget appropriation of US$765.7 million for 2006–2007; once again, the increase only partially offset rising costs due to inflation.

Implications for GWP and Partners

1. GWP’s mission is worthy

2. But development challenges have become more complex

3. Generating and disseminating Relevant Knowledge is a costly business

4. It is easier to explain differences in performance among regions and countries than to explain why or how and transferability of experience.

5. Donor resources have become limited and fragmented

6. More are being made available through Trust Funds

7. Donor expectations about demonstrating impact has increased

8. But donor time horizon has become shorter

9. Leadership, institutions, capacity and demand for knowledge in developing countries are key for success

10.GWP needs to mobilize the best of technical expertise. Quality of relations, trust and confidence with developing countries will be critical necessary conditions.
