Food and Fertilizer Price Trends: Impacts on global food security

Agricultural commodity prices are reaching levels close to those witnessed in 2007/08 and 2010/11, and fertilizer prices have also increased significantly. Repercussions from the invasion of Ukraine are creating significant additional pressures on prices. IFPRI is convening a series of policy seminars on food and fertilizer prices to set forth the trends, prospects, and policy implications and to examine likely impacts on food security and nutrition.
