IFPRI- AMIS Policy Seminar Series
Making Sense of Food and Agriculture Markets
Worldwide, the number of people facing acute food insecurity has more than doubled since 2017, and tight supplies and food inflation have reached their highest levels in many years. In January 2023, IFPRI and the Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) jointly launched the IFPRI-AMIS seminar series on Making Sense of Food and Agriculture Markets to provide in-depth analysis of current events affecting global agricultural markets and food security.
Launched in 2011 by the G20 Ministers of Agriculture, AMIS is an interagency platform that aims to enhance food market transparency and policy responses for food security. AMIS brings together the principal trading countries of agricultural commodities to assess global food supplies (focusing on wheat, maize, rice, and soybeans) and provide a platform to coordinate policy action in times of market uncertainty.
