Food systems transformation would imply a radical revaluing of global agriculture Open
Food systems exert significant stress on planetary boundaries1–3 while healthy diets are currently unaffordable for billions worldwide4. These challenges are expected to continue under global population trends, projected to reach 9.6 billi…

Global reductions in manual agricultural work capacity due to climate change Open
Manual outdoor work is essential in many agricultural systems. Climate change will make such work more stressful in many regions due to heat exposure. The physical work capacity metric (PWC) is a physiologically based approach that estimat…
A global dataset for the projected impacts of climate change on four major crops Open
Reliable estimates of the impacts of climate change on crop production are critical for assessing the sustainability of food systems. Global, regional, and site-specific crop simulation studies have been conducted for nearly four decades, …
Increases in extreme heat stress in domesticated livestock species during the twenty‐first century Open
Anthropogenic climate change is expected to have major impacts on domesticated livestock, including increased heat stress in animals in both intensive and extensive livestock systems. We estimate the changes in the number of extreme heat s…

Modeling impacts of faster productivity growth to inform the CGIAR initiative on Crops to End Hunger Open
In 2017–2018, a group of international development funding agencies launched the Crops to End Hunger initiative to modernize public plant breeding in lower-income countries. To inform that initiative, USAID asked the International Food Pol…

Ruminant livestock and climate change in the tropics. Open
This chapter describes the livestock production systems and resource use (land, water quantity and quality, air and ecosystem services), climate change impacts on ruminant livestock, adaptation of livestock systems to climate change, knowl…
The Diversity Initiative as Anti-Revolutionary Project Open
Through diversity initiatives, academia and business have recruited many new talented individuals from historically underrepresented communities. These institutions are now in the position of possessing, managing, and deploying a massive a…
Quantitative foresight modeling to inform the CGIAR research portfolio Open
This report provides a quantitative assessment of the impacts of alternative investment options on the CGIAR’s SLOs (relating to poverty – SLO1, food and nutrition security – SLO2, and natural resources and ecosystem services – SLO3) in th…
