To Provide Research-Based Policy Solutions That Sustainably Reduce Poverty and End Hunger and Malnutrition
IFPRI’s 2013-2018 strategy highlights six strategic research areas:

Partnerships, communications, and capacity strengthening are essential for putting IFPRI’s high-quality research into practice.
IFPRI produces high quality research that can shape policies, investments, and programs, contributing to a productive, sustainable and resilient agricultural and food system.
