Ex-ante Assessment of Drought Tolerant Bean Technology. A case study in the series: Economic Foresight for Understanding the Role of Investments in Agriculture for the Global Food System
According to the most recent IPCC report, changes in climates over the last 30 years
have already reduced global agricultural production in the range 1-5 % per decade
globally, with particularly negative effects for tropical cereal crops such as maize and
rice (Porter et al., 2014). In addition, ...
