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.
