Global Agrifood Systems Outlook to 2050
IFPRI Report published in September 2026
This book, Global Agrifood Systems Outlook to 2050, uses advanced modeling tools to explore how agrifood systems may evolve over the next 25 years. Drawing on peer-reviewed research and expertise across key drivers—including population, income, technology, and climate—the report examines likely changes in food demand, production, prices, trade, resource use, food security and nutrition, and employment and income across seven regions and seven commodity groups. It provides decision-makers with a long-term perspective on emerging challenges and opportunities and highlights the critical role of policy and investment choices in shaping more resilient, sustainable, and equitable agrifood systems.

Latin America and the Caribbean face a complex nutrition landscape, with undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, overweight, and obesity often coexisting.
