The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) is a non-profit organization that specializes in conducting research and providing policy solutions for issues related to food, agriculture, and nutrition on a global scale. Established in 1975, IFPRI aims to improve food security, reduce poverty, and enhance sustainable development by generating knowledge and promoting evidence-based policy changes.
IFPRI operates as a global research institution, working closely with governments, international organizations, civil society, and the private sector to address emerging challenges in the food system. Their research encompasses a wide range of topics related to agriculture, including agricultural productivity, food value chains, climate change, biodiversity, and poverty reduction. By conducting rigorous analyses and collecting data, IFPRI assesses the impact of various policies and interventions on food and nutrition security, striving to provide practical and effective solutions for policymakers.
The institute's research findings and policy recommendations are often used by governments and policymakers worldwide to design and implement more informed policies and programs that aim to alleviate hunger, improve food access, and enhance nutrition outcomes. They also work towards strengthening the capacity of developing countries in conducting their own research and policy analysis.
Through its commitment to evidence-based policy evaluation and analysis, the International Food Policy Research Institute contributes to the global effort to tackle hunger, malnutrition, and poverty, ultimately striving for a more sustainable and equitable global food system.
