BOP Business in Highly Water-stressed Agricultural Areas Suitable for Expected Climate Change

Abstract

Simulation for the most probable trend in climate change during this century is cited to predict whether crop production will increase or decrease in highly water-stressed areas. In low-income-level areas where crop production is expected to increase, centurial gradual improvement of BOP agricultural production through agricultural and environmental BOP business may contribute not only toward economic growth robust against high volatility of crop prices in the areas but also toward balance between supply and demand under growing global population.
