Global trends influencing CIMMYT's future: prepared by the global trrends task force in support of strategic planning at CIMMYT

This publication reviews emerging challenges and opportunities in the scientific, economic, social, and political context in which CIMMYT operates. Papers are presented on: demographics; welfare; environment; global economy; politics and policies; projected trends in supply and demand of maize and wheat; intellectual property law and practice; and information technology and information processing. These are discussed in terms of CIMMYT’s present work and future mission. A number of strategic questions have been presented to encourage consideration and discussion on a range of issues, such as the role of agricultural technology in alleviating poverty and the organization, targeting, and focus of CIMMYT’s work.
