International Food Policy Research Institute

Encyclopedia : I : IN : INT : International Food Policy Research Institute

The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) was founded in 1975 to develop policy solutions for meeting the food needs of the developing world in a sustainable way. Research, capacity strengthening, and policy communications at IFPRI concentrate on achieving economic growth and poverty reduction in low-income countries, improving the food and nutrition security of poor people, and managing the natural resource base that supports agriculture. IFPRI researchers work closely with national counterparts and collaborate to strengthen research capacity in developing countries. IFPRI also strengthens the link between research and policymaking through its regional networks. It communicates the results of its research to influence policymaking and raise public awareness about food security, poverty, and natural resource issues. IFPRI receives its principal funding from governments, private foundations, and international and regional organizations known as the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). It is one of 15 international research centers funded by the CGIAR.
