In many parts of Asia food security and poverty remain issues even though arable land is available to produce nutritious food. Sustainable intensification of agricultural systems has been proposed to produce more outputs on same land area whilst minimizing environmental degradation. Tradeoffs, ho...


Gatto, M.Petsakos, A.Hareau, G.[Sustainable intensification of rice-based systems with potato in eastern indo-gangetic plains.]Sustainable intensification of rice-based systems with potato in eastern indo-gangetic plains.

Much of the literature on future food supply in Asia focuses almost exclusively on the cereal crops overlooking the growing importance of other food commodities and their potential to help sustain Asian food systems and food security in the decades ahead. This study utilizes a multi-period, agric...

Integrating agronomic information into economic models is required for simulating farming systems so as to better determine how agriculture can adapt to a continuously changing global economic and physical environment. In this respect, farm level mathematical programming bio-economic models can p...

This article examines how the estimated impacts of crop technologies vary with alternate methods and assumptions, and also discusses the implications of these differences for the design of studies to inform research prioritization. Drawing on international potato research, we show how foresight s...

Potato is the most important non-grain crop in the world. Therefore, understanding the potential impacts of climate change on potato production is critical for future global food security. The SUBSTOR-Potato model was recently evaluated across a wide range of growing conditions, and improvements ...


Raymundo, R.Asseng, SentholdRobertson, R.Petsakos, A.Hoogenboom, GerritQuiróz, R.Hareau, G.Wolf, J.[Climate change impact on global potato production]Climate change impact on global potato production

The widely recognized role of roots, tubers and bananas (RT&Bs) in achieving food security and providing income opportunities in the world’s poorest regions will be challenged by socioeconomic and climate related drivers. These will affect demand and production patterns and increase pressure on f...


Petsakos, A.Prager, S.D.González, Carlos EduardoGbegbelegbe, S.Kikulwe, E.Hareau, G.Chibwana, A.Sulser, T.B.[Understanding the consequences of changes in the production frontiers for roots, tubers and bananas.]Understanding the consequences of changes in the production frontiers for roots, tubers and bananas.

While much of the literature on future food consumption in India in the decades ahead focuses on cereals, this paper presents estimates of potato demand to the year 2030 according to three different scenarios. Estimated increases in total food demand for potato range from 20 to 30 million metric ...
