Agricultural development projects increasingly aim to improve health and nutrition outcomes, often by engaging women.
Long-term projections of food production and demand
Systematic modeling of food demand and supply began in the 1990s with initiatives from IFPRI - International Food Policy Research Institute - and other global organizations.
Multidimensional impacts from international agricultural research: Implications for research priorities
Investors in international agricultural research seek sustainable agri-food technologies that can potentially serve multiple objectives, including economic growth, food security, and sustainable use of natural resources.
Animal pollination supports agricultural production for many healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes, which provide key nutrients and protect against non-communicable diseases.
Over the past several years many global reports and scientific articles have offered guidance to policy makers on how climate change is likely to affect global food security.
Achieving global food security, alongside other Sustainable Development Goals, will not be possible without massive increases in investment in agrifood research and innovation.
Investors in international agricultural research seek sustainable agri-food technologies that can potentially serve multiple objectives, including economic growth, food security, and sustainable use of natural resources.
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.
Interlinking the human rights to water and sanitation with struggles for food and better livelihoods
Safe and secure access to drinking water and sanitation are human rights that are vital to social, economic, and environmental wellbeing.
Pathways from irrigation to prosperity, nutrition and resilience: The case of smallholder irrigation in Mali
Irrigation is increasingly promoted in Africa south of the Sahara, but the benefit streams of small-scale irrigation in Mali remain largely unknown.
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.
Nutrition as a basic need: A new method for utility-consistent and nutritionally adequate food poverty lines
In most countries and globally, malnutrition rates exceed poverty rates.
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.
As growing populations, changing diets, and climate change affect growing conditions for crops, our agriculture and food systems must increase production and productivity to ensure access to healthy and diverse diets for all.
Climate change and associated extreme weather events directly impact the functioning and sustainability of food systems.
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.
