Poor nutritional quality and micronutrient deficiency are major barriers to achieving goal 2 of the Sustainable Development Goals (ensuring food security and nutrition for better health), especially in developing countries, including the least dev

The scientific body of evidence supporting biofortification spans over two decades.
As intervenções do InovAgro aumentam o uso de insumos agrícolas de alto rendimento por parte dos produtores. As intervenções do InovAgro melhoram o número de intervenções da cadeia de valores não facilitadas ou patrocinadas pelo InovAgro.
Addressing hidden hunger with nutrient-dense staple crops—developed through the process of biofortification—has gained considerable traction in low- and middle-income countries since the first varieties were released to farmers 16 years ago.
Inclusive and efficient value chains: Highlights, lessons learned, and priorities for one CGIAR
At the start of CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM) Phase 2 in 2017, and later during the priority-setting round in 2019, each of the PIM research areas (‘flagships’) formulated key research questions they aimed to
This brief looks at food system innovations and digital technologies as important drivers of productivity growth and improved food and nutrition security.
The performance of agrifood value chains of vital importance for smallholder farmers in developing countries.
As part of the work implemented by CGIAR on COVID-19, the COVID-19 Research Hub Working Group 4 “Address food systems’ fragility and build back better” was tasked with implementing a global assessment of the impacts of COVID-19 on food systems and
Agriculture holds tremendous potential to improve nutrition. Traditionally, agriculture investments focused on producing enough food to allow people to meet their caloric needs and on generating employment and income.
Globally, an estimated two billion people suffer from micronutrient deficiencies that contribute to weakened immune systems, disease, disability, and even death.1 One of the main causes of micronutrient deficiencies – also known as hidden hunger –
The UN 2030 Agenda commits governments to evidence-based decision-making (UN General Assembly, 2015). This approach requires efforts to find and catalogue the evidence, then developing methods to analyze and synthesize it.
The objective of the brief, Biofortification: A food-systems solution to help end hidden hunger, is to “encourage the adoption and scaling up of biofortification through national policies and programs, with collaborative support from FAO and Harve
Demographic pressures and climate change in Africa are rendering subsistence farming an unviable livelihood strategy for smallholder farmers.
Destination-based business cash-flow taxes have received a great deal of attention and are being widely considered as a replacement for traditional, origin-based, corporate taxes.
African exports of high-value agricultural products, such as processed agricultural goods and horticultural products have been growing rapidly.
Reducing food loss and waste can contribute to food security and sustainability.
We are at a major turning point in history. For the first time ever the world has committed to ending hunger. Not to reduce or halve it—but to end hunger.
Although value-chain interventions have historically focused on increasing income for smallholders and other stakeholders along the chain (Hawkes 2013), value chains can also play an important role in determining the availability, affordability, q
