Why the world needs inclusive food systems now more than ever – ICRISAT (Global Diaspora News) 

April 11, 2020


Global Diaspora News reported on the release of IFPRI’s Global Food Policy Report (GFPR). As the world grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic and the massive disruption it has caused in food supply chains, it is painfully clear that the poor and marginalized communities are the hardest hit. GFPR emphasizes that modern global food systems should be inclusive of not just the poor (e.g. smallholder farmers), but also other neglected groups such as women, youth and refugees from conflict-prone regions.
