- 4. Crop and food systems are and will remain driven by cereal production (especially wheat). Breeding for Yield, Heat, Pests and Disease 30 % of the 22 millions ha of Wheat in MENA are irrigated Policies Can we close the Production Gap? How does technology enhance sustainability of wheat-based agrifood systems ?
- 5. Biotechnical innovations need to be assessed in a nexus … SYSTEMIC INNOVATION NUTRITION SECURITY BLUE WATER LABOR EMPLOYMENT MIGRATION NATURAL RESOURCES & ENERGY … and combined with the proper policies and markets.

- 7. Production Gap of cereals will not be “sustainably closed” without food and forage legumes in rotations. Mitigation NRM Nutrition Value-Added
- 8. Technologies and Institutions for “de-risking” rainfed sustainable intensification • Irrigated Intensified low production gap every year not sustainable under climate change • Traditional Rainfed low input no economic loss in dry years no gain in wet years • Adaptive Rainfed Cropping Management and rotations adapted to soil and rainfall of the year and markets Need more knowledge (bio-physical and socio-economical)
