The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) will co-host the 2018 Global Food Policy Report (GFPR) launch in Sweden. The focus of this year’s report is on antiglobalism, which was on the rise in 2017. What does this mean for food security and nutrition? The 2018 GFPR examines the impacts of global integration—including the movement of goods, investment, people, and knowledge—and the threat of current antiglobalization pressures. This seventh annual report also provides perspective on the major food policy issues, developments, and decisions of 2017 and highlights challenges and opportunities for 2018.
