 Our world is constantly changing, influencing and impacting the global agri-food systems. Environmental challenges demand innovative solutions. New technologies improve the way we produce, process, transport and market food. Consumer preferences shift. In order to develop the most effective policies and plans for the sector, decision-makers need to know what's coming our way, the possible future trends and factors driving global demand and supply, trade and the pricing of the world's main agricultural commodities. To assist them, the OECD FAO Agricultural Outlook provides a comprehensive baseline scenario for how agricultural commodities, fish and biofuel markets could evolve at national, regional and global levels over the next decade. Analyzing countries in seven geographical regions around the world and examining 40 different agricultural commodities including cereals, oil seeds, meats, fish, dairy products, sugar, some fruits and pulses and even cotton and biofuels. The outlook is a rich and reliable source of information for government, industry and academia. Commodity, policy and country experts from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations work together to compile this globally recognized annual publication. Along with extensive research and computer modelling, they also consulted widely with experts from national institutions and international commodity organizations to come up with the most unbiased, transparent and plausible projection possible. It's important to understand that the baseline projection is not a forecast about the future but rather a plausible scenario based on certain assumptions around macroeconomic conditions, agriculture and trade policy settings, weather conditions, longer-term productivity trends and international market developments. Given that there are risks and uncertainties associated with the baseline projection, the publication also discusses possible alternative scenarios with different market outcomes. The underlying modelling system can be used in follow-up ex-ante scenario analysis of individual markets, countries and issues, helping to guide policy decisions, for instance, on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the African swine fever disease, the growing demand for alternative proteins, new biofueled policies and many others. With stronger projections on future trends in the agriculture and food sector, we can make better decisions, taking us closer to our global goals for zero hunger, a cleaner environment and more resilient communities.
