A macro perspective on the relationship between farm size and agrochemicals use in China
Agrochemicals are overused in China. One strategy to reduce agrochemical use is to increase farm size because of the potential effect of economy of scale.
The purpose of this document is to provide Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) database for Indian Economy for the year 2017-18.
Effects of COVID-19 on Papua New Guinea’s food economy: A multi-market simulation analysis
Developments in the agricultural economy of Papua New Guinea have major impacts on household food consumption decisions.
A SARS-CoV-2 surveillance system in Sub-Saharan Africa: Modeling study for persistence and transmission to inform policy
Background: Since the novel coronavirus emerged in late 2019, the scientific and public health community around the world have sought to better understand, surveil, treat, and prevent the disease, COVID-19.
This paper has been written for the 2020 ECAMA Lakeshore Conference. It extends and updates the initial results of modeling undertaken by IFPRI to assess the short-run impacts of COVID-19 control measures on the Malawian economy.

Targeting small-scale irrigation investments using agent-based modeling: Case studies in Mali and Niger
Small-scale irrigation has been identified as a potential adaptation strategy for climate change and boosting food security and livelihoods in dry regions.
Characterizing supply-side drivers of structural change in the construction of economic baseline projections
A recent review of common modelling practices conducted during the Workshop “Shaping long-term baselines with Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models” held at OECD in January 2018 showed that models include different assumptions on changes to
In this study, we present results from a large ensemble of projected changes in seasonal precipitation and near-surface air temperature changes for the nation of South Africa.
Increasing demands for agricultural commodities are resulting in more intensely managed landscapes. This is at odds with biodiversity conservation and largely ignores farmland biodiversity’s supporting function for high and stable yields.
The expanded use of surface water for irrigation, intensified farm management, and double cropping have been highlighted by the Government of Bangladesh as policy priorities and development imperatives in the coastal region.
Information on global cropland distribution and agricultural production is critical for the world's agricultural monitoring and food security.
