Together with our partners, we generate needed evidence for country and region-led policies that contribute to poverty reduction and help ensure that all people have access to safe, sufficient, nutritious, and sustainably produced food. Through multisectoral research and engagement with stakeholders, IFPRI informs effective policies, programs, and investments that contribute to productive livelihoods and sustainable, resilient, and equitable agriculture and food systems.

IFPRI is a Research Center of CGIAR, the world’s largest agricultural innovation network, and the only CGIAR center solely dedicated to food policy research. The Institute currently has more than 590 employees from around the world working in over 80 countries, with about half of our research staff based in developing countries.

IFPRI’s research aims to achieve progress in CGIAR’s five impact areas: nutrition, health, and food security; poverty reduction, livelihoods, and jobs; environmental health and biodiversity; gender equality, youth, and social inclusion; and climate adaptation and mitigation. To address challenges in these areas, IFPRI’s experts work with partners around the world to identify, assess, improve, and adapt policy, institutional, and governance responses that can drive transformative change.
