Description

The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) was established in1975 to help developing countries devise appropriate food policies and the policies needed to ensure the optimum use of new agricultural technologies.Although IFPRI's research is ultimately focused on reducing hunger and malnutrition, its interest extends to social, economic, and institutional forces that drive the food sector and bear on the development process. IFPRI is divided into four research divisions, namely: The Environment and Production Technology Division, The Markets and Structural Studies Division, The Food Consumption and Nutrition Division and The Trade and Macroeconomics Division. It's web site offers an overview on research topics(including project summaries), publications (either full text or available as hardcopies), a press service and a list of events and seminars.
