The Ukama Ustawi week of science and practice of scaling agri-food system innovation took place in Nairobi from 22 – 24 November 2022.
Food systems are major contributors to climate change and other environmental problems, such as land-use change and biodiversity loss, depletion of freshwater resources, and pollution of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems through nitrogen and phos
Ensuring resilient food systems and sustainable healthy diets for all requires much higher water use, however, water resources are finite, geographically dispersed, volatile under climate change, and required for other vital functions including ec
The MitigatePlus: Low-Emission Food Systems Initiative aims to contribute to low-emission food systems development and reduce net annual greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) from food systems.
La iniciativa MitigatePlus: Sistemas Alimentarios Bajos en Emisiones tiene como objetivo contribuir a la reducción de las emisiones anuales de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) en los sistemas alimentarios.
This paper provides estimates of the global investment gap in agricultural research and development (R&D) and innovation.
Achieving global food security, alongside other Sustainable Development Goals, will not be possible without massive increases in investment in agrifood research and innovation.
Transformative adaptation and implications for transdisciplinary climate change research
The severity of the climate challenge requires a change in the climate response, from an incremental to a more far-reaching and radical transformative one.
FAO’s The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report (FAO et al. 2020) emphasizes the gradually increasing trend of hunger, measured by the prevalence of undernourishment, since 2014.
Extreme events, such as those caused by climate change, economic or geopolitical shocks, and pest or disease epidemics, threaten global food security.
On the role of water resources management to transform water, energy, food and ecosystem (WEFE) systems in transboundary river basins
The program NEXUS Gains addresses key challenges of transforming water, energy, food and ecosystem (WEFE) systems in transboundary bread-basket basins in East and Southern Africa (Blue Nile and Limpopo basins), Central (Aral Sea basin) and South A
Effectively targeting climate investments: A methodology for mapping climate–agriculture–gender inequality hotspots
Climate change is influencing the transformation of agriculture and food systems across the globe in unprecedented ways.
2021 Annual Report
IFPRI’s 2021 Annual Report presents highlights from our research work around the world.
Exploring micronutrient deficiency risks in Africa using projections of the food system
Micronutrient deficiencies (MND) remain an important challenge in the 21st century, complicated by climate, economic, and demographic change.
The role of water in transforming food systems
The United Nations Food Systems Summit aimed to chart a path toward transforming food systems toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
Globally, the energy sector accounts for almost three-quarters of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and is thus responsible for the majority of adverse climate change impacts on rural livelihoods, including growing water, energy, and food insec
Climate change and food systems: Transforming food systems for adaptation, mitigation, and resilience
Climate change is a growing threat to our food systems, with grim implications for food and nutrition security, livelihoods, and overall well-being, especially for poor and vulnerable people around the world.
