Its solutions have influenced government and NGO policies across the globe.Īs COVID-19 threatens to increase rates of global hunger and poverty, IFPRI’s insights are more critical than ever as governments desperately seek to lessen the virus’ economic impact. IFPRI provides research-based policy solutions to sustainably reduce poverty and end hunger and malnutrition in developing countries. That’s why organizations like International Food Policy Research Institute – known as IFPRI – are critical to advancing the fight against hunger.
