The recent report by the Global Futures and Strategic Foresight team (part of PIM's research flagship 1) seeks to help the CGIAR centers and research programs, as well as donors and other decision makers assess the overall impact and benefits of investing in international and national agricultural research programs.

The next webinar in the PIM Monthly Webinars series will take place on June 28, 11:00 AM EST. Mark Rosegrant (IFPRI) will summarize findings from a recent analysis of the impacts of alternative agricultural investment options on global objectives such as the SDGs and the CGIAR’s System Level Outcomes in the coming decades.
