Abstract

This presentation summarises research outputs from long term projections of wheat production, consumption, and trade under different climate change and socioeconomic scenarios in selected SSA countries. The IMPACT model was used for these projections to better illustrate future perspective and scope for wheat self-sufficiency in these countries. Recommendations for policy makers have also been provided accordingly.
