Agrifood value chains in the world’s low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have expanded rapidly over the past decade, supplying an increasing volume and diversity of food products.
In 2022, the world faced multiple crises.
The world is not on track to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. The prevalence of hunger and poverty—the two core goals which are the litmus test for everything else—are on the rise.
“Transforming Odisha’s Agri-Food Systems”, a policy roundtable meeting and discussion held at Bhuba-neswar, Odisha, was inaugurated on October 20, 2022.
One of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is reducing food loss and waste (FLW) across all stages of food value chains, including the on-farm production, the off-farm postharvest, processing, and distribution, and the household consumption s
The Russia-Ukraine war's impact on food, fuel, and fertilizer prices is a major concern for global poverty and food insecurity.
Modern cooling technologies that utilize renewable energy sources have been increasingly recognized as promising tools to address various challenges emerging in progressively complex agrifood systems in developing countries.
This analysis is composed of two parts. The evolving structure of Kenya’s agrifood system (AFS) and its contribution to national development is assessed using a series of Social Accounting Matrixes (SAMs) for Kenya for the period 2009–2019.
Standard tools that can quantitatively track the impacts of higher global demand for animal-sourced food to their local environmental effects in developing countries are largely missing.
In this interactive we develop a typology to help design and improve spatial targeting of food and nutrition security (FNS) interventions.
