This report finds that by 2050 the negative effect of climate change on agricultural productivity in El Salvador will be among the highest in the region.

This discussion paper evaluates the likely impact of climate change on agriculture in Costa Rica out to 2050.

Using a variety of inputs, IFPRI's Spatial Production Allocation Model (SPAM) uses a cross-entropy approach to make plausible estimates of crop distribution within disaggregated units.

Increasing the efficiency of agricultural production—getting more output from the same amount of resources—is critical for improving food security. To measure the efficiency of agricultural systems, we use total factor productivity (TFP).

Policymakers recognize that increased investment in agricultural research is key to increasing agricultural productivity.

Food policy research plays a crucial role in guiding the agricultural development of countries. To achieve food security goals, countries need to strengthen their capacity to conduct food policy research.

Policy makers, analysts, and civil society face increasing challenges to reducing hunger and improving food security in a sustainable way. Modeling alternative future scenarios and assessing their outcomes can help inform their choices.

Climate change will be a significant challenge to farmers in Guatemala.

El cambio climático representa una amenaza para la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición, sobre todo por su impacto en la producción agrícola.

Climate change poses a threat to food security and nutrition, largely through its impacts on agricultural production.

This discussion paper introduces a series of studies on the effects of climate change on agriculture in Central America and the Andean region.

Food-assisted maternal and child health and nutrition (FA-MCHN) programs may foster child growth during the first 1000 d (pregnancy and the first 2 y of a child's life), but evidence is scant.

Food-assisted maternal and child health and nutrition programs that incorporate food rations, a behavior change communication (BCC) strategy, and activities to improve the implementation and use of government-funded health services can improve chi

Cost studies were conducted in conjunction with the impact evaluations of these two PM2A (Preventing Malnutrition in Children under 2 Approach) programs to provide information on the total cost of the programs and estimate the cost of alternative

In the Western Highlands of Guatemala, not only is climate change a threat to agriculture, but adaptation strategies are challenged by the context of a society torn apart by decades of violent conflict. 

This report presents the findings from the impact evaluation of Programa Comunitario Materno Infantil de Diversificación Alimentaria (PROCOMIDA) (Community Maternal and Child Food Diversification Program), a Preventing Malnutrition in Children und

Does smuggling improve economic welfare? This paper provides a theoretical model of illegal trade and determines the impact of smuggling on economic welfare. We focus on Costa Rica's recent prohibition of avocados imported from Mexico.
