International Model for Policy Analysis of Agricultural Commodities and Trade (IMPACT Model)
IMPACT Development Team
IMPACT Beginnings
• Early 1990s – IMPACT development begins– Lack of consensus about policies needed to feed the world
requires new analytical tools• 1993 – 2020 Vision for Food, Agriculture and the
Environment Initiative. • 1995 - First published results using IMPACT
– Global Food Projections to 2020: Implications for Investment (Rosegrant, Agcaoili-Sombilla and Perez, 1995)
– Considers the effects of population, investment, and trade on food security and nutrition in developing countries

IMPACT Timeline• 1998-2002 – The Food Model integrates a water simulation model
(IWSM)– Water availability becomes a driving variable on agriculture
productivity– Food model has to disaggregate regionally to integrate the IWSM
correctly moving from 36 countries to 281 Food Production Units• 2000-2005 – Expansion to 40 commodities• 2005-2010 – Continued commodity refinement
– Oilseed and Sugar modules Added– Fish Dropped
• 2010-2013 – Update to new version of the model (IMPACT 3)– Base data updated to 2005– Expansion to 56 commodities– Geographical disaggregation to 159 regions, 154 basins, and 320 FPUs

IMPACT Model - Basic Idea
• The IMPACT model is designed to examine alternative futures for global food supply, demand, trade, prices, and food security.
• The IMPACT model allows IFPRI to provide both fundamental, global baseline projections of agricultural commodity production and trade and malnutrition outcomes along with cutting-edge research results on quickly evolving topics such as bioenergy, climate change, changing diet/food preferences, and many other themes.

IMPACT Model - Briefly• Disaggregated agricultural commodities (56 commodities)
• Disaggregated spatial allocation of crop production at sub-national level (159 countries, and 320 food production units)
• Details on physical use of land and water, trade policies, with resulting trade
• World food prices are determined annually at levels that clear international commodity markets
• Iterative year-by-year demand and supply equilibration
• Output indicators – calorie availability, malnutrition measures, share at risk of hunger, water consumption, yield growth and total production, area

IMPACT Model - Briefly• Food production is driven by both economic and environmental factors
and has both extensive and intensive components (area x yield)
• On the production side the model also accounts for the presence of irrigation and for exogenous technological change
• Food demand is a function of commodity prices, income, and population
• Feed demand is a function of livestock production, feed prices, and feeding efficiency
• Other demand changes proportionally to food and feed demand
• Biofuel demand an exogenous calculation of demand for feedstock from different commodities (sugar, oils, maize, other) to meet a share of mandates in major countries
