Reshaping Agriculture for Nutrition and Health

Abstract

The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) was established in 1975 as one of 15 centers supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), an alliance of governments, private foundations, and international and regional organizations engaged in research for sustainable development. To contribute to a world free of poverty, hunger, and malnutrition, IFPRI conducts research on a wide range of topics, including agricultural productiv-ity, global trade and local markets, maternal and early childhood nutrition, climate change, and individual country development strategies, among others. Based in Washington, DC, IFPRI has 12 offices worldwide including regional offices in Ethiopia, India, and Senegal. The 2020 Vision for Food, Agriculture, and the Environment is an IFPRI initiative to develop a shared vision and consensus for action for meeting future world food needs while reducing poverty and protecting the environment. Through the 2020 Vision Initiative, IFPRI brings together divergent schools of thought on these issues, generates research, and develops policy recommendations. IFPRI's research, capacity-strengthening, and communications activities are made possible by its financial contributors and partners. IFPRI receives its principal funding from governments, private foundations, and international and regional organizations, most of which are members of the CGIAR. IFPRI gratefully acknowledges the generous unrestricted funding from Australia,
