IFPRI will continue to issue periodic reports on the global and regional food situation and outlook, and to monitor progress on internationally agreed-upon food-security targets, based on projections using IFPRI's International Model for Policy Analysis of Agricultural Commodities and Trade (IMPACT). In addition, IFPRI will also look at longer term scenario assessments of food and natural resource security, including energy. The ongoing integrated global water and food modeling is being extended to land and soil resources. This theme will assess long-term scenarios for agricultural and natural resource adaptation strategies relating to changes in global climate and water cycles, including examining policies, investments, adaptation, and mitigation to maintain environmentally sustainable pro-poor growth.
