abstract: It is imperative that the world’s farmlands become the frontline
for the battle to feed the projected 9 billion population globally.
The detrimental effects of climate change on food security can be
counteracted by broad-based economic development—particularly
enhanced agricultural investment for improved land, water, and
nutrient use. Improved crop, soil, and water management practices
and stress-tolerant varieties that will overcome the detrimental
impacts of climate change will lead to benefits like improved
food security, livelihoods, and environmental security. Among the
agricultural systems at greater risk of climate change are the
dryland tropics, where the International Crops Research Institute
for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) has its mandate. ICRISAT’s
new Strategy to 2020 lays emphasis on inclusive market-oriented
development (IMOD) as a pathway out of poverty by linking farmers
to markets to increase incomes, enabled through a systems
perspective and purposeful partnerships.
