Innovation spaces are often dominated by linear, top-down approaches, with the transfer of technology being seen as the solution to many problems rather than trying to understand which innovation processes people are engaging with themselves.

Food production includes a complex and varied set of agricultural and nonagricultural activities, involving a growing number of sectors and actors that influence the way food is produced, processed, distributed, and consumed.

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.

Even before the current global COVID-19 health crisis — whose potential long-term impacts on food systems are still unclear (Béné et al.

Thirty years have elapsed since the fall of communist governments in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. The collapse of political structures took with it regimes of highly administered management of agri-food systems.

IFPRI’s 2018 Annual Report shares highlights of our work, which together with partners has helped to develop and tailor knowledge to local contexts, build human and institutional capacity, and support development strategies in many countries aroun

Achieving a “sustainable food future” requires building food systems that, in line with the related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), support growth and employment, ensure social inclusiveness and equity, promote climate resilience and environ

Despite strong economic growth in 2017, antiglobal­ization sentiments increased uncertainty about inter­national cooperation.

Poucos desafios enfrentados hoje pela comunidade global se comparam, em escala, à má nutrição, distúrbio que afeta diretamente uma em cada três pessoas.

En la actualidad, pocos son los obstáculos a los que se enfrenta la comunidad mundial que puedan compararse en magnitud con el de la malnutrición, una condición que afecta directamente a una de cada tres personas.

Parmi les obstacles auxquels la communauté internationale est confrontée aujourd’hui, rares sont ceux qui rivalisent en intensité avec la malnutrition, une condition qui touche directement une personne sur trois.

На сегодняшний день лишь немногие из стоящих перед мировым сообществом проблем сопоставимы по своему масштабу с неполноценным питанием – ситуацией, напрямую затрагивающей каждого третьего человека в мире.

واحد من كل ثلاثة من سكان العالم. ويتجسد سوء التغذية فى أشكال عدة: مثل

栄 養不良の問題は、3人に1人が直接的に影響を受け ており、今日国際社会が直面している問題でこれ ほど規模の大きなものはほとんどありません。栄養不良は、子どもの成長や発育不全だけではなく、極度の消耗状態に ある個人が病気にかかりやすくなったり、肥満状態にある 個人の血液に糖分、塩分またはコレステロールが過剰に含 まれていたり、あるいは重要なビタミンやミネラルが欠乏 していたりするなど、さまざまな形で現れます。栄養不良や 不適切な食事は病気を引き起こす世界最大の危険因子で す。

在现今国际社会所面临的诸多挑战中，营养不良问题显得尤为严峻：全球有三分之一的人口营养不良。营养不良有很多不同的表现形式：儿童生长与发育不良；个体消瘦或易受感染；过度肥胖；由于过度摄入糖、盐和脂肪而面临慢性病的风险；缺乏重要的维生素或矿物质。就目前来看，营养不良和不健康饮食是造成全球疾病负担的最大因素：各国都面临着营养不良造成的严峻公共卫生挑战。在非洲和亚洲，每年营养不良造成的经济损失相当于11%的国内生产总值（GDP），而在预防营养不良方面每投入1美元便可带来16美元的投资回报。

Through the world health assembly (wha), countries have signed onto global nutrition targets, and as chapter 2 shows, one way to track countries’ progress is to apply these global targets to the national level.

To be effective, commitments to action must be implemented and enforced. The implementation of policies and interventions depends on converting political commitment to practical action.

As discussed in chapter 1, setting targets is one manifestation of political commitment. Countries have already made a series of commitments to attain global nutrition targets by 2025 (Panel 2.1).
