Agricultural transformation involves the shift in production and workers from traditional agriculture to more productive activities, both within primary agriculture and across sectors within the broader agrifood system.

Both climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic present powerful reminders of the importance of a resilient agricultural sector for ensuring food security and for protecting livelihoods and jobs. Yet, over the past decade, Egypt’s agricultural sector performance and output growth in key food crops has slowed. The future of agriculture in the face of climate […]

The COVID-19 pandemic is an important reminder and rationale for investing in resilient value chains and agri-food systems.

COVID-19 is accelerating the use of digital technology and tools around the world. This trend also provides an opportunity to make complex investment analysis tools more user-friendly and ultimately to promote more evidence-based decision-making among governments. The Agricultural Investment Data Analyzer (AIDA) is the first online tool that uses an economy-wide model to assess the […]

In countries where gender norms prevent women from owning property and resources, people are also the hungriest.

The overall aim is […]

Digitization and digital tools provide an opportunity to make food systems more productive and efficient, climate-smart, and inclusive.
