Look back and learn: How past pandemics and epidemics inform COVID-19 response (The New Humanitarian) 

June 04, 2020


The New Humanitarian published an article on eight takeaways from 25 years of reporting on global health crises. The article referenced the IFPRI book, HIV/AIDs and food and nutrition security by Senior Research Fellow Stuart Gillespie and Suneetha Kadiyala on how the “destructive relationship” between HIV/AIDS and hunger became clear. IFPRI measured the impact of the disease on household-level income, especially for those who depended on farming.
