In the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers at IFPRI and elsewhere worked quickly with their partners in government, the private sector, and survey firms to provide evidence on the immediate impacts of the COVID-19 health crisis

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, CGIAR pivoted its research planning to better support countries as they responded to the crisis.

The COVID-19 pandemic is undermining food and nutrition security on a global scale. IFPRI estimates show that globally, 80–140 million people were at risk of falling into extreme poverty in 2020, more than half in Africa south of the Sahara.

There is substantial concern that global food insecurity is increasing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Agricultural value chains, particularly in the developing world, have been going through drastic changes over the past decades.

How can extension services best help small farmers meet today’s challenges? This global study points to ways to improve outcomes, enhance financial sustainability, and achieve greater scale.

Policymakers need to know what policies, investments, and actions they can take to ensure food systems transform in a healthy, sustainable, and equitable way.

The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) began research activities in Ethiopia in the 1980s to assess the root causes of drought-related food-production shortages and support adoption of appropriate policy responses.

This chapter begins with a discussion of Ethiopia’s various nutrition-related indicators, which show the persistence of child and adult malnutrition, despite some progress.

Agriculture's vast potential to improve nutrition is just beginning to be tapped.

Compact2025 is a bold new initiative for ending hunger and undernutrition by 2025.
