This study describes the development of food production and consumption in ACP regions after the last two decades and prospects for the years to come

The coronavirus pandemic has upended local, national, and global food systems, and put the Sustainable Development Goals further out of reach. But lessons from the world's response to the pandemic can help address future shocks and contribute to food system change. In the 2021 Global Food Policy Report, IFPRI researchers and other food policy experts explore the impacts of the pandemic and government policy responses, particularly for the poor and disadvantaged, and consider what this means for transforming our food systems to be healthy, resilient, efficient, sustainable, and inclusive. Chapters in the report look at balancing health and economic policies, promoting healthy diets and nutrition, strengthening social protection policies and inclusion, integrating natural resource protection into food sector policies, and enhancing the contribution of the private sector. Regional sections look at the diverse experiences around the world, and a special section on finance looks at innovative ways of funding food system transformation. Critical questions addressed include: - Who felt the greatest impact from falling incomes and food system disruptions caused by the pandemic? - How can countries find an effective balance among health, economic, and social policies in the face of crisis? - How did lockdowns affect diet quality and quantity in rural and urban areas? - Do national social protection systems such as cash transfers have the capacity to protect poor and vulnerable groups in a global crisis? - Can better integration of agricultural and ecosystem polices help prevent the next pandemic? - How did companies accelerate ongoing trends in digitalization and integration to keep food supply chains moving? - What different challenges did the pandemic spark in Asia, Africa, and Latin America and how did these regions respond? ; PR ; IFPRI1; 1 Fostering Climate-Resilient and Sustainable Food Supply; 2 Promoting Healthy Diets and Nutrition for all; 3 Building Inclusive and Efficient Markets, Trade Systems, and Food Industry; 4 Transforming Agricultural and Rural Economies; 5 Strengthening Institutions and Governance ; DGO

Depuis 2006, l'Institut international de recherche sur les politiques alimentaires (IFPRI) soutient la recherche et participe au renforcement des capacités dans le cadre de la planification et de la mise en oeuvre du Programme détaillé de développement de l'agriculture en Afrique (PDDAA). Le PDDAA a été approuvé en 2003 par les chefs d'État et de gouvernement africains désireux de créer un cadre continental d'accélération de la croissance et des progrès en matière de réduction de la pauvreté et d'amélioration de la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle grâce à une sratégie de croissance axée sur le développemen de l'agriculture. L'IFPRI met son expertise au service du PDDAA à travers trois principaux programmes : le Système régional d'analyse stratégique et de gestion des connaissances (ReSAKSS) ; le Consortium Modélisation des politiques pour la croissance et le développement en Afrique (AGRODEP) ; et le Panel Malabo Montpellier (Panel MaMo). ; Non-PR ; IFPRI1; ReSAKSS; AGRODEP; 3 Building Inclusive and Efficient Markets, Trade Systems, and Food Industry; 4 Transforming Agricultural and Rural Economies; 5 Strengthening Institutions and Governance; Malabo Montpellier Panel ; AFR

Since 2006, the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) has provided policy research and capacity strengthening support to guide the planning and implementation of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP). Endorsed in 2003 by African heads of state and government, CAADP is a continentwide framework for accelerating growth and progress toward poverty reduction and food and nutrition security through an agriculture-led growth strategy. IFPRI expert support for CAADP includes three main program areas: the Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS), the African Growth and Development Policy (AGRODEP) Modeling Consortium, and the Malabo Montpellier Panel (MaMo Panel). ; Non-PR ; IFPRI1; ReSAKSS; AGRODEP; 3 Building Inclusive and Efficient Markets, Trade Systems, and Food Industry; 4 Transforming Agricultural and Rural Economies; 5 Strengthening Institutions and Governance; Malabo Montpellier Panel ; AFR

Food supply systems have changed dramatically over the past half century, with enormous advancements in improving food distribution systems, food processing technologies, and delivery of food services. On November 28, 2018, representatives from private sector companies, government ministries, and research organizations gathered in Bangkok, Thailand to discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by these changes. The roundtable event focused on a series of overarching questions: What can be done to increase efficiency in agricultural markets; what innovations are needed to make these markets more inclusive; and what is needed to ensure they are more sustainable and healthier? Several major themes emerged during the discussion that will be important to focus on as the FIPP program develops. ; Non-PR ; IFPRI1; FIPP; UNFSS ; MTID
