Sino-German International Research Training Group - Adaptation of maize-based food-feed-energy systems to limited phosphate resources (AMAIZE-P)

Grant from Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG; “German Research Foundation”) funding a research subject within the Chinese-German International Research Training Group (GRK 2366)"Adaptation of maize-based food-feed-energy systems to limited phosphate resources“ for one doctoral student positions to study the Economic assessment of future phosphorus availability: Impacts on agricultural and food markets at farm, national and global levels, October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027.

"The research aims to explicitly depict phosphorus in a global economic model to simulate potential phosphorus scarcity and its impact on agricultural and food markets. This model will be used to examine the role of international trade on local phosphorus availability and thus food security. It will also simulate scenarios based on research from the other research subjects to assess how they can help mitigate a phosphorus shortage and thus contribute to food security."

The project, funded by UNFCCC in the framework of the Katowice Committee of Experts, develops and applies a toolkit of modelling tools to assess the impacts of the implementation of response measures with recursive dynamic pathways, country level emissions and several SDG indicators, and provides capacity building. The results illustrate the insights CGE analyses can provide for Small Island Developing States such as the Maldives.

Internal migration flows, rural-rural and rural-urban, in most African countries far exceed international movements. Nevertheless, the focus in migration studies in Africa lies on international migration. The project funded by EU-JRC develops a migration module that depicts internal migration flows in an empirically based framework for the single country CGE model DEMETRA. The migration module is implemented for a model for Ethiopia
