“…Agri-food systems evaluated by the different CGIAR centers produce a range of products that generate positive environmental, social, and economic impacts at different scales (Bobojonov & Aw-Hassan, 2014;CGIAR Independent Science and Partnership Council, 2011). The socioeconomic impacts of CGIAR-generated activities can be evaluated and predicted using different socioeconomic modeling tools such as foresight analysis of agricultural systems under global change scenarios and the consequences of potential food system and farming system shocks, among others (Godfray et al, 2016;Komarek, Thurlow, Koo, & De Pinto, 2019;Komarek & Msangi, 2019;Boussios et al, 2019;Yigezu, Aw-Hassan, Shideed, Sommer, & El-Shater, 2014;Ates et al, 2018;Frija & Telleria, 2016;Reynolds et al, 2018). Simulation and scenario analysis (IPCC, 2019;Riahi et al, 2017) either focus on what the future has in store for humanity to identify research priorities today or look at (potential) emerging technologies to assess how they fit into dynamic complex agri-food systems including the analysis of the appropriateness of technology for farming systems and livelihood strategies (Rosegrant et al, 2017).…”
