Uncovering an additional benefit of mitigation.

Modeling suggests export bans intended to buttress domestic food supplies could have wide impacts.

New research shows climate change will slow the growth in the global availability of key nutrients provided by important crops such as wheat, maize, and legumes.

Agrifood systems are complex and changing, so it is critical to explore different potential futures to inform decisions today that can put the world on a better path for livelihoods, health, and the environment. In the coming decades, changes in population, income, and diets will put increasing pressure on agrifood systems to meet evolving food […]

Aflatoxin levels and impacts are expected to increase with higher temperatures and increased water stress, particularly in tropical and sub-tropical climates. Two key avenues to address this challenge include minimizing contamination in the growing cycle through the use of good agricultural practices and by mitigating toxin development in the postharvest supply chain; and reducing the […]

Nutrition Insight spoke with IFPRI’s Timothy Sulser, the study co-author, to learn how these changes could impact nutrition and health.

A new study published in Nature today found that combining healthier diets, sustainable agricultural intensification, and cutting food waste in half would reduce pressure on land and natural resources while still meeting food needs.

Brazil’s O Globo interviewed IFPRI’s Timothy Sulser for the article examining how rising atmospheric CO₂ levels are reducing the nutritional quality of staple crops.
