Where we work

IFPRI currently has more than 600 employees working in over 80 countries with a wide range of local, national, and international partners.

The International Food Policy Research Institute’s (IFPRI) new research program on Food Industries for People and Planet (FIPP) will expand traditional ways of thinking about the global food system and will provide evidence-based policy assessments aimed at making agri-food industries and food systems more inclusive in terms of employment and income opportunities, more efficient in terms of meeting global food needs, and conducive to the promotion of healthy diets and environmentally sound production and distribution systems.

The three areas of research include

The research program aims to focus on three interrelated areas of research:
(1) Improving agri-food market efficiency and access
(2) Innovation for inclusive agri-food value chains development
(3) Incentives for safer, healthier, and more sustainable food

The FIPP program is actively seeking partnerships, collaborations, and funding. The program will be driven by the FIPP Consortium, a multi-national group of stakeholders – from governments to food companies, research organizations, and civil society – who will work together to identify priority research questions and build partnerships. As part of the FIPP program, IFPRI will also leverage its ongoing partnerships with FAO, the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation, the Scaling up Nutrition movement, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
