The FAO Outlook to 2050 – Production, Consumption, and Resources Paris, GCARD, 27 January 2010 Josef Schmidhuber, FAO, LOG How big is the energy market? 1.Energy market (TPES): nearly 500 EJ 2.Biomass: 50 EJ (80% in developing countries) 3.Biofuels: 2.1 EJ, on ca. 26 million ha 4.Transport energy needs: ca. 95 EJ 5.Crop area to cover transport energy needs: >1000 million ha, i.e. 2/3 of global crop area. 6.Energy market is large, creates perfectly elastic demand for agricultural produce at break-even points (parity prices).

The FAO Outlook to 2050 – Production, Consumption, and Resources Paris, GCARD, 27 January 2010 Josef Schmidhuber, FAO, LOG More R&D in more efficient feedstocks? 1.Energy market is big relative to the food market 2.Food – fuel competition is competition for resources (land, water) (not between food and feed feedstocks!) 3.More efficient feedstocks would help reduce area at limited demand, but at potentially unlimited demand, demand for feedstocks will rise (potentially in a big way). 4.More R&D in more efficient biofuel feedstocks may have unexpected and even unintended area expansion effects: Beware of what you are wishing for/investing in!

The FAO Outlook to 2050 – Production, Consumption, and Resources Paris, GCARD, 27 January 2010 Josef Schmidhuber, FAO, LOG biophysical changes: higher temperatures and more evaporation more precipitation and higher rainfall variability more frequent extreme weather events  higher production variability inundation of coastal areas melting glaciers, water circulation, irrigation potentials higher atmospheric CO 2 concentration impacts on agriculture/food high latitude areas: ↑yields for GMT 2.5°C GMT low latitude areas: ↓yields even for ↑temp 1-2°C globally production neural up to +2C GMT, but lower production in low-latitude areas Higher yield variability due to weather extremes high latitudes: more land suitable for agricultural production (+160 million ha), low latitudes: less land for agricultural production (-110 million ha) CO 2 fertilization effect, but uncertain fire risks, pests and diseases, food safety, e-coli, malaria, etc. ∆Yield

The FAO Outlook to 2050 – Production, Consumption, and Resources Paris, GCARD, 27 January 2010 Josef Schmidhuber, FAO, LOG 1.Future output challenges +70% more food production to 2050, but slow down in growth overall enough resources (land, water, genetics), but growing regional/local resource pressures (land, water) energy market huge, energy demand cannot be met by agriculture climate change to increase pressure on the resource base of the poor more productive agriculture needed to fight hunger, poverty 2.R&D needs to meet the challenges Invest more specifically to address the needs of the poor (abiotic stress, crops of the poor) Divergent R&D needs in developed and developing countries: rebalance productivity growth with other goals such as nutrition, environment, etc. CC: R&D to promote productivity growth, to minimize acreage expansion CC: R&D for abiotic stresses (drought tolerance, etc.) but prioritize mitigation over adaptation (timing, financing); seek win-win (CA/NT) Bioenergy: R&D investment in more efficient biofuel feedstocks? Unintended area expansion effects possible! Timing, sequencing: Invest steadily, avoid pro-cyclical action and price movements; synchronize R&D investment with other measures (water pricing, water use efficiency); take into account the long gestation periods. Organize/co-ordinate R&D: Combine expertise of the private sector with needs and constraints in developing countries: PPPs, humanitarian use licenses, etc Summary and conclusions
