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.
Food systems everywhere are facing major new challenges.
Confronting climate change requires action at all levels, from the individual to the global.
Rethinking food system policies in terms of “eco-agro-food systems” can help to foster an integrated approach that will maintain and restore vital ecosystem services and reduce the likelihood of future shocks.
Ensuring that women’s contributions to food systems are recognized—by their families, communities, policymakers, and society more broadly—and that women can make strategic choices about their involvement in food systems has benefits for all of soc
Food policy indicators: Tracking change
IFPRI develops and shares global public goods, including datasets and indicators, as part of its mission to provide research-based policy solutions that sustainably reduce poverty and end hunger and malnutrition.
Rural revitalization requires that all members of society, including women, be able to participate in and benefit from growth and transformation of rural areas.
Rural areas are critical to the provision of ecosystem services.
The world’s hundreds of millions of extremely poor people cannot escape from poverty without access to energy, notably electricity.
2017 год был отмечен ростом неопределенности на фоне неоднозначных признаков прогресса.
The year 2017 was marked by increasing uncertainty amid mixed signs of progress. The world enjoyed a strong economic recovery, but global hunger increased as conflicts, famine, and refugee crises persisted.
2017年,全球在取得不同方面进展的同时,各种不确定因素亦日趋增加。尽管世界经济复苏强劲,持续的冲突、饥荒及难民危机却导致全球饥饿人口增加。同时,在反全球化思潮的冲击下,全球格局呈现出复杂多变的态势,国际贸易和投资以及人口与知识的流动均受到阻碍。虽然在过去几十年里全球一体化加速推进了消除贫困和营养不良的进程,然而随着美国从多项重要国际协议中退出、英国退欧以及许多国家反移民言论的抬头,全球一体化进程开始出现倒退。

Une incertitude croissante et des signes de progrès contrastés ont marqué l’année 2017.
Food policy indicators: Tracking change
IFPRI's IMPACT model allows policy makers, analysts, and civil society to explore future scenarios for food security—including the impact of climate change on agricultural production and hunger—through an integrated system of linked economic, clim
