This Analysis presents a recently developed food system indicator framework and holistic monitoring architecture to track food system transformation towards global development, health and sustainability goals.
Recent literature suggests that agricultural value chains are changing rapidly and places an increasing focus on the importance of actors and activities taking place in the “midstream” of these value chains, after production and prior to final sal
Women and men value chain actors in low-income countries assess and choose varieties, animal breeds, or strains according to a multitude of factors, such as local agroecological conditions, production and consumption habits, and seed availability

Climate change and conflicts co-exist in many countries with significant welfare and socio-environmental implications.
Food prices spiked sharply in 2007–2008, in 2010–2011 and again in 2021–2022.
An evolving literature evaluates the inferential and behavioral implications of measurement error (ME) in agricultural data. We synthesize findings on the nature and sources of ME and potential remedies.
We analyse whether global value chains (GVCs) reduce trade barriers in the agricultural and food sectors as they affect lobbying and government incentives.
IFPRI’s 2022 Annual Report presents highlights from our research work in low- and middle-income countries and on global challenges.
Investing in farmers – or agriculture human capital – is crucial to addressing challenges in our agrifood systems.
Introduction: This article contributes to a better understanding of the context in which agricultural R&D investment takes place in low- and middle-income countries, and how innovation capacity, the development of the food system, and the size
Research is essential for improvement of agricultural productivity, resource use and resilience, and for food systems transformation more broadly.
About 1.5 billion people, most of the world’s poor, live on small farms in developing countries.
This paper explains the need for digital tools and how they enable commercialization and scale, the impact on users, and the risks and benefits with examples of projects and partners along the value chain.
This chapter looks at food system innovations and digital technologies as important drivers of productivity growth and improved food and nutrition security.
The number of people living in rural areas of low and middle-income countries is projected to increase in the coming decades. It is in the rural areas of these countries where a large majority of the world’s extreme poor reside.
The biomedical domain has shown that in silico analyses over vast data pools enhances the speed and scale of scientific innovation.
There is an urgent need for countries to transition their national food and land-use systems toward food and nutritional security, climate stability, and environmental integrity.
