What we do
IFPRI is committed to providing policy-relevant research for better nutrition and livelihoods.
IFPRI is participating extensively in the International Consortium on Applied Bioeconomy Research (ICABR) conference.
Multiple changes in the structure of the food system and agriculture raise new opportunities and challenges for the agricultural sector. In the developing world, these changes started in Asia and Latin America, and are rapidly emerging in Africa. Urbanization and increased urban demand for food, fiber, and fuel present new market opportunities for farmers, entrepreneurs, and agribusiness in the developing world.
There is a need to understand and rethink governance, policies and regulations under this changing reality. The conference will focus on the impact of new value chains and technology on agribusiness and farmers and their capacity to implement innovation, and the policy and institutional implications of transforming value chain and the agri-food system.
