The CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM), led by IFPRI, leads action-oriented research for a food-secure present and future. PIM’s research provides support for policies that help poor farmers, both men and women, improve their lives; produce nutritious and affordable foods; and protect the soil, water, and biodiversity in rural landscapes. Sound policies, robust institutions, and well-functioning markets complement new discoveries of agricultural science to create dynamic and resilient food systems.
