Activity Title: A Study of Global Climate Change on Food Produc-

Implementation Format: Cooperative Research
Estimated Fund to AIT (USD$): 36,000
Estimated Fund in EPAT (USD$): O
Estimated Total Funding (USD$): 36,000
Proiect Description:
One of the most serious concerns that will face all peoples in
the 21ST century is the potential impact of global environmental
and climate change may have on world food production. This is p-
articularly felt in Asian Pacific Rim countries where the popul-
ation ,growth for the next 50 years would be among thehighest in
the world. The increasingiy unstable climate and environment ha-
ve in effect increased the variability of food supply in recent
years. Since the environmental conditions are partly associated
with industrial developmental activities and levels of energy c-
onsumption, which are dramatically increasing in Asian countries
, it is not unreasonable to project a worsen environment in near
future. The degradation of environment in general and the clima-
te change in specific raised a new concern of stability of food
supply in the next century.
Objectives:
(1) To collect weather and key food production data for Pacific
Rim countries. The countries lmder consideration include, U-
SA, Canada, China Taiwan, Japan, PfiIippines, and other sou-
theastern Asian countries;
(2) To analyre these data and to evaluate the stability of clim-
ate and food production systems in these countries;
(3) To assess the potential impact of future weather and food p-
roduction conditions may have on food market and economy am-
ong the pacific rim countries.
Result:
Results of this study would be useful for Taiwan policy makers,
particularly environmental policy decision-makers to address mo-
re profound and broad issues in relationships of Mvironnent, ec-
onomy and food security.
Activity:
Data collection and modeling analysis will be performed at the
University of California at Davis A final -report including ma-
rket and economic implications will be submitted to Taiwan EPA.

Time frame:
Jannarv 2001 to December 2001.
