1.2 Goals, objectives and targets

CRP Goal

The overall goal of the Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals CRP is to concurrently achieve the outcomes of:

Expanded, resilient and inclusive production, value addition, trading and consumption of nutritious grain legumes and dryland cereals in target countries; and

Improved capacity and inclusivity of agri-food system stakeholders to collaboratively develop innovations that respond to the needs of women, men and youth in GLDC-based livelihoods and value chains.

These two end-of-program outcomes will contribute positively to the higher-order SRF outcomes of reduced poverty and improved food security, nutritional security for health, and improved natural resource systems and ecosystems services.

Targets

The SRF was designed to illustrate impact of agricultural R4D by 2030; it evaluates system-wide anticipated achievements towards the SDGs. GLDC leverages and encourages enabling environments to take advantage of policy, technology and partnerships to accelerate adoption of profitable technologies by farmers.

GLDC targets are calculated62 based on cost per beneficiary and weighted contributions across the five GLDC flagships for each SLO target (Table 5). SLO1 was calculated at the expected rates GLDC can improve incomes above the US$1.90/day threshold. A means to improve rural livelihoods is by improving production and for each 1% increase in yields there is a corresponding 0.8% reduction in poverty63. In the case of households adopting improved varieties, the cost is ~US$15 per household from the investment made in GLDC. In the case of improved varieties, the estimated ROI by 2022 is 10:1. This is based on annual increases in productivity and discount factors for each target country and crop. This intervention will translate into an increase in value of production of US$1.3 billion by 2022 over a baseline productivity growth estimated at 0.75%.

Many cropping systems for the drylands are grown in marginal lands that will be disproportionately impacted by climate change. Grain legumes, as companion crops to cereals, can increase soil health through nitrogen fixation – a distinguishing feature of GLDC within the CGIAR portfolio. GLDC will work with N2Africa and other large initiatives to further enhance nitrogen fixation contribution to farming systems. Fixing nitrogen and sequestering carbon in the drylands directly contributes to SLO3.
