Global Agrifood Systems Outlook to 2050
IFPRI Report published in September 2026
This book, Global Agrifood Systems Outlook to 2050, uses advanced modeling tools to explore how agrifood systems may evolve over the next 25 years. Drawing on peer-reviewed research and expertise across key drivers—including population, income, technology, and climate—the report examines likely changes in food demand, production, prices, trade, resource use, food security and nutrition, and employment and income across seven regions and seven commodity groups. It provides decision-makers with a long-term perspective on emerging challenges and opportunities and highlights the critical role of policy and investment choices in shaping more resilient, sustainable, and equitable agrifood systems.

Making a Difference Blog Series
IFPRI’s five decades of experience has shown that development policy research has a stronger likelihood of making an impact and meeting real-world needs when it is adapted to local contexts and created with national and local partners. This is why we have spent the past two decades expanding our network of country offices and embedding researchers closer to the communities they serve.
This locally grounded approach, reinforced in the new IFPRI Strategy 2026–2030, aims to strengthen research relevance, policy influence, and capacity sharing through sustained collaboration with governments, research institutions, and development partners around the world.
As part of CGIAR’s global gender research community, IFPRI supports the UN International Year of the Women Farmer by providing evidence that expands women’s access to resources, technologies, and markets and strengthens their economic opportunities to advance more equitable, resilient agrifood systems.
