In 1975, IFPRI was established with a mission to provide research-based policy solutions to sustainably reduce poverty and end hunger and malnutrition in developing countries.

To celebrate the Institute’s 40th anniversary, on November 18, 2015, we hosted a special event in Washington, DC, “IFPRI at 40: Looking Back, Looking Forward.” During the event, attended by 400 people, we heard from a fascinating group of policymakers, partners, donors, and other friends of IFPRI from around the world who discussed how food policy has evolved over the decades and how it is likely to look in the future.

The range of topics explored included policies for facilitating sustainable food supplies; making agricultural markets and trade work for the poor; and linking agriculture and nutrition.
