In this chapter, we examine this nexus, focusing on the food security function of food systems, and build the evidence base for policymakers to mainstream climate risk and adaptation solutions in food system transformation efforts.

Africa, a continent of immense potential, stands at a crucial juncture.

This is a joint IFPRI-WFP study on the drivers, profile, and risks of irregular migration in the West Africa context.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has imperiled global food security — creating suffering within Ukraine and displacing millions while disrupting agricultural production and trade from one of the world’s major exporting regions.

Because of its dependence on food imports, Egypt is particularly vulnerable to the high world food prices and trade shocks triggered by Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Developing country food supply chains have been pummeled by a series (and often a confluence) of shocks over the past several decades, including the Russia-Ukraine war, COVID-19, climate shocks from hurricanes to floods to droughts, animal and pla

Agriculture is strongly affected by environmental factors, including variability in temperature and precipitation, which in turn shape the livelihoods farmers derive.

The 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim at jointly improving economic, social, and environmental outcomes for human prosperity and planetary health.

African agriculture is highly sensitive to weather variability and extreme weather shocks. The question of how weather events affect participation in agricultural employment—including from a gender perspective—remains unanswered.

Climate change is a truly global threat, but its impacts differ around the world. Regions and countries urgently need to identify and implement policy responses that reflect local needs and opportunities.

Agriculture in Africa has been traditionally seen as an important employment provider, supporting agriculture-based livelihoods of the vast majority of the African population, (James, 2014; World Bank, 2011) and absorbing the largest share of the

Physical climate vulnerability is often assessed using three key methodologies: indicator-based methods (e.g., a vulnerability index), model and GIS-based (quantitative approaches), and participatory approaches (e.g., cognitive mapping, interviews

The Accelerating Impacts of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) aims to support the development and scaling of the CGIAR’s most strategic and impactful climate change mitigation strategies across Africa.

While agriculture has been resilient to the health crisis in comparison with the service and industry sectors, the sector's resiliency is gradually being corroded by climate change, with lasting, harmful effects for agriculture and food systems

Climate change negatively affects Egypt’s agriculture sector. This brief summarizes the results of a modeling exercise to examine a range of climate change adaptation approaches to counteract agricultural productivity declines.

With climate change, Egypt’s already arid climate will face even higher temperatures and lower rainfall over key agricultural areas, requiring further urgent adaptation investments.

Explores key emerging issues facing developing-country agriculture today, from rapid urbanization to rural transformation to climate change

This paper examines the economic and food security implications of climate change in Africa with a focus on population and income growth, agricultural livelihoods and food security, and the role of gender and youth.

In line with the Maputo Declaration that established the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) in 2003 and with the 2014 Malabo Declaration, African Union (AU) Member States pledged to conduct a continentwide Biennial Revi
