IFPRI 2014-2015 Global Food Policy Report
March 25, 2015| |
The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) has just released the 2014-2015 Global Food Policy Report. The report calls on governments of middle income countries to reshape their food systems to focus on nutrition and health, close the gender gap in agriculture, and improve rural infrastructure to ensure food security for all.
"It may seem counterintuitive, but these growing economies play a key role in our ability to adequately and nutritiously feed the world," said Shenggen Fan, Director General of IFPRI.
The full report and other media materials are available for download at the IFPRI website.
