1 Agriculture to End Hunger and Under-Nutrition: Legumes in the Lead Rob Bertram U.S. Agency for International Development
2 Rates of hunger and poverty declining Agriculture-Nutrition linkages Stunting rates coming down, but still high Global Commitment in SDG 2 Global Food Security Act signals US support Progress and Commitment
3 New Results Framework 2017 to 2021
4 Prevalence of undernourishment (%) Poverty and hunger declining Prevalence of poverty (US $1.25/day, 2005 PPP), (%) East Asia SSA South Asia World World Africa Asia Pacific LAC Source: FAO Source: PovCalNet 2015 Hidden Hunger Index (micronutrient deficiencies) Source: Muthayya et al. 2015
5 24% of the world s 667 million children are stunted
6 Agricultural growth is poverty-reducing Poverty-growth elasticities (US$1.25 poverty line) 0 Malawi Mozambique Tanzania Uganda Zambia All sectors Agriculture Non-agriculture Source: Dorosh and Thurlow, 2014 Agricultural growth continues to be more povertyreducing than non-agricultural growth
7 Agricultural growth reduces hunger Agricultural growth enhances hunger reduction Increases household incomes and diversifies diets Reduces food prices to benefit poor net food buyers Creates employment; stimulates rural nonfarm economy Whether subsectoral growth reduces hunger depends on Its linkages with rest of economy Its initial size and geographic concentration Its growth potential Market opportunities Source: Fan and Brzeska 2012 Calorie deficiency-growth elasticities, Tanzania ( ) Percent Maize Pulses & oilseeds Horticulture Livestock Export crops Source: Pauw and Thurlow 2010
8 Economic growth and nutritional outcomes
9 Increases in households purchasing power directly impacts nutrition Not poor Rice Rice and vegs Rice, vegs, and eggs Rice, vegs, eggs, meat Less poor Rice Rice and vegs Rice and eggs Rice and meat Moderate poor Rice Rice and vegs Rice and eggs Very poor Rice Rice and vegs Very, very poor Rice From Martin Bloem, UNICEF
10 Legumes Research: Why? Nutritional role protein, micronutrient, other Gender friendly: women often grow/manage Cheapest source of added nutrition, especially for children, women Productivity growth has lagged cereals; affordability and consumption declines Strong market demand/consumer preference Positive environmental contributions, e.g. soil fertility
11 Diverse nutritional status demands diverse solutions Low income countries Hungry Stunted children Obese Reduce micro-nutrient deficiency Middle income countries Hungry Stunted children Obese Reduce energy deficiency % population High income countries Hungry Stunted children Obese Reduce excessive net energy and unhealthy diets
12 Contribution of Sectors to Improving Nutrition Globally Food: 32% Water & Sanitation: 35% Women s Education + status: 33% 116 developing countries ( ) Source: Smith and Haddad, 2013 Marie Ruel, IFPRI
13 Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture Target production of nutrient-rich foods, esp. those that include nutrients lacking in diet Include behavior change communication component specifically aimed at consumption of target crops Ensure target food availability and affordability in local markets and support consumption education Measure outcomes, including intermediates such as consumption and market availability 13
14 AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE Humanitarian assistance doesn t have to be indefinite -- it is possible to design programs that build resilience and end reliance on aid We are investing in the long-term solutions to recurrent crises Pushing into fragile contexts Every $1 spent on resilience will result in a $2.9 return over 20 years Sharing responsibility Stemming the rates at which people escape poverty and fall back into it Bridging relief, recovery and development
15 Climate Varies Over Time: Which variation is most important? (Temperature) Example: Observed Annual Temperature in the Last 100 Years Trend ( Climate Change ) Interannual (year to year) 10 50% 30 90% 10 40% Decadal
16 Climate Varies Over Time: Which variation is most important? (Precip) Example: Observed Annual Rainfall in the Last 100 Years Trend ( Climate Change ) Interannual (year to year) 5 10% 60 90% 10 35% Decadal
17 Sahel: Annual Precipitation Example: Annual Precipitation over the Sahel Observed 55% of total Interannual Variability 290mm from one year to next Rainfall (mm) Decadal Variability 250mm in 20 years 27% of total Climate Change 180mm in 100 years % of total Walter E. Baethgen 2014
18 Adaptation: We must first adapt to existing climate variability The previous El Niño caused 35 billion USD in global economic losses By the end of 2016 an estimated 40 million people were expected to be food insecure in southern Africa

Adequate for rumen function Excess Adequate for growth Adequate for growth Expected ADG, g/d Calculations based on NRC, 1985 for a 40 kg ram

27 Getting new varieties to farmers! Program: Feed the Future Legume Innovation Lab University lead: Michigan State University Core research for 10+ years on variety development Focus on C. America highlands, Haiti lowlands Beans contribute to nutrition and income gains Scale-up effort Pilot: Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Haiti Quiche Hunapu variety MasFrijol large effort in Guatemala >25,000 households received seed via community seed systems Haiti: Emergency post-hurricane response
28 Delivery to farmers can t be taken for granted Seed Systems Considerations Reaching the farmer not automatic Cereals & legume seed systems have different public/private sector roles Low profits margins, difficult to predict demand Targeted communications needed on value of material in public pipelines (to seed sector) Early Generation Seed constraints reduce private sector access to legumes, clonal crops Key public sector functions not prioritized, e.g. inspection and quarantine, EGS
29 3 take-home messages* *from Doug Cook Combined approach needed: Crop Improvement Agronomic Practices Irrigation Drought is complex--not just about water: -Coincident environmental factors, esp. heat, soils -Coincident biological factors, especially biotic stress. -Many useful traits from numerous, small-effect genes G x G x E x M = need for modeling Basic science essential to applied outcomes: -Molecular and physiological mechanisms. -Advanced phenotyping -Genome-enabled predictive breeding -Expanded genetic variation

31 Legumes in FTF 2.0 Legumes play significant roles in economic growth, improved nutrition, and resilience Mixed crop-livestock systems feed most of the rural poor Legumes provide needed nutrients to improve crop and livestock productivity, also fertilizer use efficiency Legume fodders are valuable and marketable and should be considered as part of the legume value chain Grain yield and forage yield values should both strongly link to seed system and variety replacement Genetic improvement will continue to drive yield and biomass gains while reducing risk Upside potential and reduced risk drive investment

33 Story of soy productivity gains over 50 years Figure 1: Soybean world trends (calculated from FAOSTAT 2010) (Source: Abate et al., 2012)
34 Incremental gains = Huge Impacts! "Achieving modest, but targeted improvements in our cropping systems can go a long way to achieving significant gains in resilience. In most cases, a crop needs to be able to resist yield losses for 3-5 additional days during a dry spell, not additional weeks or months. This can be through combined improvements in soil conditions and drought tolerant varieties. Achieving specific minimum goals can result in dramatic gains in resilience. Regis Chikowo
