Finance and logistics services for agricultural value chains based on technological innovations exist in several LMICs, but they are not often extended to small holders or SMEs working in the agricultural midstream.

Agri-food value chains (AVCs) intermediate the flow of products between largely rural farmers, fisherfolk, or herders and increasingly urban consumers.

In this review we sought to understand how the relationship between women’s empowerment and women’s and children’s diet and nutrition outcomes have been conceptualized and studied.

Achieving the 2030 Agenda and the goals on addressing hunger, such as Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2, integrated and policy-relevant tools are needed to identify specific interventions and costs to assist with SDG 2 and another SDG implement

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

Systematic modeling of food demand and supply began in the 1990s with initiatives from IFPRI - International Food Policy Research Institute - and other global organizations.

Key Points

Future societal systems will be characterized by heterogeneous human behaviors and data-driven collective action.

This study investigates the financial cost of increasing the diversity of cereal grains in livestock feed rations.

The 21st Century has been marked by increased volatility in food prices, with global price spikes in 2007-08, 2010-11, and again in 2021-22. The impact of food inflation on the risk of child undernutrition is not well understood, however.

This paper provides estimates of the global investment gap in agricultural research and development (R&D) and innovation.

Sound monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems are needed to inform effective biofortification program management and implementation.

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.

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

Injustices are prevalent in food systems, where the accumulation of vast wealth is possible for a few, yet one in ten people remain hungry.

Adequate supplies of healthy foods available in each country are a necessary but not sufficient condition for adequate intake by each individual.
