Special series: The Russia-Ukraine conflict
The February 2022 invasion of Ukraine triggered trade disruptions and significant increases in international energy, agricultural commodities, and fertilizer prices, which were already elevated due to the impacts of COVID-19 and the value chain disruptions caused by the pandemic. Although global food and fertilizer prices have receded from their peak levels, they remain high compared to pre-Covid levels, contributing to high domestic food price inflation in many low- and middle-income countries. This special blog series, edited by IFPRI Director General and Managing Director of CGIAR’s Systems Transformation Science Group, Johan Swinnen, and IFPRI Senior Research Fellow Joseph Glauber aims to shed light on the continuing repercussions of the Ukrainian war and other factors exacerbating food price inflation and food insecurity, and to provide in-depth analysis and propose policy responses that can enhance the resilience of national and global food systems

Making a Difference Blog Series
For more than three decades, IFPRI has worked with the Government of Ethiopia to provide evidence-based advice on the development of the country’s agricultural sector.
IFPRI’s research and policy recommendations led to the establishment of Ethiopia’s Agricultural Transformation Agency (ATA) in 2010, which continues to play a critical role in guiding the country’s agricultural development and sustainability.
Tamsin Zandstra, Gashaw T. Abate, Shahidur Rashid, and Nicholas Minot outline how IFPRI’s long-term strategic research support to the ATA has led to several tangible government policy outcomes.
