 The global agri-food system is extremely complex, influenced by many factors such as economic conditions, consumer preferences, science and technology, geopolitics, domestic and trade policies, climate change and other environmental impacts. To make sense of all these complexities and help countries plan for the future, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations work together to produce the annual OECDFAO Agricultural Outlook. This comprehensive and forward-looking report outlines the potential evolution of agricultural and fish markets at national, regional and global levels over the next decade. The Outlook analyses production, consumption, trade and price data at country level across 40 different agricultural commodities. Produced every year, the Outlook captures emerging developments, assesses their likely medium-term impacts and incorporates them into plausible baseline projections, providing a rich source of information for governments, the agricultural industry, international and regional organizations, academia and other interested stakeholders. While the publication includes established projections on the future cost of wheat, for instance, and how much people are likely to consume a decade from now, it offers some more specific projections too. For example, in the 2023 edition, the Outlook incorporates food loss and waste into food consumption analyses. It also offers insights on how changes in fertilizer prices influence food prices. What does it take to produce the agricultural outlook? In addition to extensive data gathering and state-of-the-art computer modeling, OECD and FAO consult widely with technical and market experts from national institutions and international commodity organizations. Together, they reach consensus on the most plausible baseline projections. OECD and FAO's work extends beyond this publication. The Outlook teams collaborate closely with partner institutions and other stakeholders who use the baseline projections to develop simulation scenarios exploring potential risks, alternative policies or changing preferences. This work is used to support the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by building a better understanding of future global, regional and national food and agricultural issues. Ultimately, the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook highlights the need for policies and strategies that strengthen efficiency and resilience across the global agri-food system, paving the way towards a food secure and sustainable future. For us all.
