Synopsis (short abstract) This book presents the first macroeconomic scenario of a full transition to agroecology in 2050. It is for Andhra Pradesh, a state in southern India with 53 million inhabitants and 9.3 million farmers in 2020. The "Community-managed Natural Farming" scenario is compared to an industrial food and agriculture intensification scenario to assess its performance in various areas such as employment, land use, food production, economic growth or income inequality. The book also includes a unique compendium of statistics over more than half a century (from the 1960s to 2020), at three geographical scales (World, India and Andhra Pradesh), on the multiple and interconnected dimensions of agri-food systems and their structural transformation. Overall, the book is a unique presentation of the method and results of a participatory foresight exercise which combines quantitative and qualitative approaches, expertise and knowledge to help societies and their governments to better choose the future world in which they would like to live and work.

    Analyse prospective de l’agriculture sénégalaise en 2050: agro-industrie versus agroécologie?
    Rapport sur la prospective «AgroEco2050-Sénégal»

    Ce rapport présente les résultats d'AgroEco2050-Sénégal, le premier exercice de prospective au Sénégal à l'échelle nationale explorant deux visions contrastées de l’agriculture sénégalaise à l’horizon 2050: une agriculture agroécologique et une agriculture industrielle conventionnelle.Ces trajectoires ont été analysées à travers des dimensions clés telles que l’emploi, la production alimentaire, l’utilisation des terres, la performance économique et le bien-être des populations rurales. L’approche méthodologique combine des outils de modélisation quantitative, des récits qualitatifs et une forte participation des acteurs de la société civile, académique, gouvernementaux et privé pour coconstruire des visions de futurs agricoles cohérentes, crédibles et contrastées.Au-delà des deux scénarios initiaux — agroécologique et agro-industriel — les échanges ont permis de faire émerger une vision intermédiaire, appelée «Coexistence verte», reflet des aspirations partagées par certains acteurs lors des ateliers participatifs. Le rapport vise à alimenter la réflexion stratégique sur les futurs possibles de l’agriculture sénégalaise, en apportant des éléments concrets pour orienter les politiques publiques et les choix collectifs. En particulier, il révèle les enjeux cruciaux à chacun des scénarios pour que ceux-ci émergent. Il s’accompagne également de la compilation de plusieurs bases de données dans un outil cohérent et visuel inédit sur les systèmes agricoles et alimentaires du Sénégal, offrant un éclairage structurel historique et prospectif précieux pour comprendre les transformations en cours.

    The Ministry of Agriculture of Kazakhstan (MoA) initiated the process of developing the State Programme 2022–2026 as the implementation of the State Programme of the Agro-Industrial Complex Development in Kazakhstan in 2017–2021 neared completion. According to the rules of the State Planning System of Kazakhstan, the development of the State Programme 2022¬2026 had to be preceded by the Concept of the State Programme, which required a comprehensive evaluation of the previous State Programme 2017–2021, including a socioeconomic impact assessment and cost-effectiveness analysis. It also needed to outline the goals, objectives, outcome and output indicators for the designated five-year period (2022–2026), as well as an investment plan indicating the required funds.

    A holistic, integrated approach is needed to tackle the systemic constraints on sustainable agriculture and food systems and value chain development. The Accelerator for Agriculture and Agro-industry Development and Innovation (3ADI+) is a global programme spearheaded by FAO and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) that seeks to generate decent employment, particularly for rural youth and women, and produce higher-value, safer and nutritious food, while combating the effects of climate change in on- and off-farm activities. A key input for generating value for smallholders is through sustainable mechanization, especially in Africa. By taking a partnership approach and drawing on private investment to ensure sustainability and scalability, the initiative aims build sustainable value chains to meet modern needs.
