Sustainable Agricultural Practices

Sustainable agricultural practices are essential for creating resilient food systems and combating climate change. These practices include crop rotation, organic farming, conservation tillage, and integrated pest management.

Food Systems Transformation

Food systems transformation is crucial for achieving sustainable development and food security in the face of climate change. This approach involves rethinking how we produce, process, distribute, and consume food to create more efficient, resilient, and equitable systems

4P Model for Agro-pastoral value chain and Family farming.

The Public-Private-Producer Partnership (4Ps) approach for Agro-pastoral value chains and Family farming emphasizes collaboration between government entities, private sector stakeholders, and smallholder farmers.

Gender equality and women empowerment

Gender equality and women empowerment are fundamental to achieving sustainable food systems transformation. By ensuring equal access to resources, opportunities, and decision-making power in agriculture and food production, we can harness the full potential of women farmers and entrepreneurs

Environment and Natural Resources

CRRPASA research on environmental issues, including land management and water policies, supports poverty reduction, food security, and sustainability.

Food Crises

Crises including food insecurity, conflicts, and climate shocks have widespread consequences for food security and stability.

Food Loss and Waste

Improved measurement of food loss and waste and where it occurs along the value chain allows for reduced pre- and postharvest losses and for improvements in food security, nutrition, and smallholder incomes.

Food Prices

Risk-coping food policy analysis tools from IFPRI provide data, news, and evidence-based research to help countries avoid or mitigate food price spikes.

Food Safety

Food safety and food security are intrinsically linked to water safety, human health, and nutrition. Food safety policies address a range of issues including food hygiene, export standards, and market access.

Nutrition

Nutrition is key to human well-being. IFPRI’s nutrition research focuses on reducing all forms of malnutrition through programs and policies to improve diets and health.

Poverty

To evaluate the approaches that can best help families to move out of poverty, IFPRI’s researchers explore the linkages among poverty, food security, and nutrition.
