Show notes

MARTIN J. FORMAN MEMORIAL LECTURE Tackling Obesity and Noncommunicable Diseases in Mexico: A Policy Approach 33rd Annual Martin J. Forman Memorial Lecture Hybrid Event NOV 21, 2023 - 9:00 TO 10:30AM EST Globally, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has nearly tripled since 1975—among adults over the age of 18, more than 1.25 billion are overweight and 650 million are obese. Overweight and obesity affects more than 340 million children and adolescents ages 5 to 19 and nearly 39 million children under 5. These rates have risen significantly in low- and middle-income countries, as rising poverty and inequity, urbanization, and climate and humanitarian crises limit access to healthy diets, especially for the poorest and most marginalized. The 33rd Annual Martin J. Forman Memorial Lecture will feature Dr. Simón Barquera, the Director of Nutrition and Health Research Center at the National Institute of Public Health of Mexico (INSP) who will address the growing obesity epidemic and alarming rate of diet-related noncommunicable diseases in Mexico. Outlining the INSP’s initiatives and policy recommendations, Dr. Barquera will speak about the Mexican government’s efforts to improve food environments in Mexico, as well as the response of the food industry to these efforts. While focused on Mexico, the lecture will provide recommendations for other countries struggling with rising obesity and non-communicable diseases. The annual lecture commemorates Martin J. Forman, who headed the Office of Nutrition at USAID for more than 20 years and made a significant impact on international nutrition. The lecturer is invited to present personal views about major issues related to malnutrition. Welcome Johan Swinnen, Managing Director, Systems Transformation, CGIAR and Director General, IFPRI Remarks Kenan Forman, Son of Martin J.

The Political Economy of Food System Transformation: Pathways to Progress in a Polarized World Nov 14, 2023

Show notes

BOOK LAUNCH The Political Economy of Food System Transformation: Pathways to Progress in a Polarized World Hybrid Event NOV 14, 2023 - 3:00 TO 4:30PM EST Amid rising geopolitical conflict, populism and nationalism, and clashes between empirical evidence and disinformation campaigns, many countries are trying to transform their food systems to achieve healthier, more sustainable outcomes. To accomplish this challenging goal, pathways to transform food systems must be grounded in a sound understanding of interest group dynamics, incentive systems, the role of ideology and coalitions, and accountability structures. The Political Economy of Food System Transformation, a new IFPRI and Oxford University publication edited by Danielle Resnick and Johan Swinnen, tackles this complex subject by integrating insights from a global set of interdisciplinary scholars. Their work encompasses food system policy issues relevant to diets and environmental sustainability at the local, national, and international levels. The authors address a wide range of issues, including the need to repurpose costly agricultural subsidies, reduce red meat and ultra-processed food consumption, increase uptake of appropriate biotechnologies, adopt sugar-sweetened beverage taxes, implement the European Union’s Farm to Fork Strategy, adapt urban food system councils to local contexts, and track accountability for global food system commitments. Join us for this hybrid book launch at IFPRI headquarters and online—speakers will discuss the political economy of these issues and reflect on opportunities to pursue food system policy reforms in an increasingly polarized world. A light reception will follow the presentations. Speakers Christopher Barrett, Stephen B. and Janice G. Ashley Professor of Applied Economics and Management and International Professor of Agriculture at the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, Cornell University Koen Deconinck, Economist, Trade and Agriculture Directorate, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Eduardo Gómez, Professor and Director of the Institute of Health Policy and Politics, Lehigh University Danielle Resnick, Senior Research Fellow, Development Strategies and Governance Unit, IFPRI and Non-Resident Fellow, Brookings Institution Johan Swinnen, Managing Director, Systems Transformation, CGIAR and Director General, IFPRI Discussant Loraine Ronchi, CGIAR Senior Advisor for Policy Impact, IFPRI Moderator Charlotte Hebebrand, Director of Communications and Public Affairs, IFPRI Download a free copy of the book: The Political Economy Of Food System Transformation: Pathways To Progress In A Polarized World - https://www.ifpri.org/publication/political-economy-food-system-transformation-pathways-progress-polarized-world More about this seminar: https://www.ifpri.org/event/political-economy-food-system-transformation-pathways-progress-polarized-world Subscribe IFPRI Insights newsletter and event announcements at www.ifpri.org/content/newsletter-subscription

Food System Repercussions of the Russia-Ukraine War Nov 14, 2023

Show notes

POLICY SEMINAR Food System Repercussions of the Russia-Ukraine War 2023 Borlaug Dialogue Breakout session Co-organized by IFPRI and CGIAR OCT 26, 2023 - 1:10 TO 2:10PM EDT This session will examine the impacts of the conflict in Ukraine on food systems around the world. Russia’s February 2022 invasion triggered trade disruptions and dramatic price increases for energy, agricultural commodities, and fertilizers, which were already high following the COVID-19 lockdowns and value chain disruptions. While international prices have come down from the peaks seen in 2022, domestic inflation levels remain high in many low- and middle-income countries, and food and fertilizer affordability remains a challenge. The war has also led to a sizable drop in agricultural production in Ukraine, which has been an important exporter of grains and cooking oil. Given that 30 percent of Ukraine’s agricultural land may be riddled with land mines, production in this major breadbasket may not recover swiftly when hostilities cease. In line with the 2023 Borlaug Dialogue theme of “Harnessing Change,” the event will also focus on efforts already underway or required to improve systemic resilience, recover from shocks, and sustainably nourish all people in light of the significant shock the conflict has had on food systems around the world. Opening Remarks Lindiwe Majele Sibanda, Chair, CGIAR System Board Mitigating the Global Impacts of Food System Shocks: Key Takeaways for Resilience Building Efforts Dina Esposito, Assistant to the Administrator for the Bureau for Resilience and Food Security (RFS) at USAID, Feed the Future Deputy Coordinator for Development, and Global Food Crisis Coordinator, and the Agency’s Global Food Crisis Coordinator Outlook for Ukraine's Agricultural Sector Antonina Broyaka, Kansas State University, Department of Agricultural Economics (Presentation) Impact of the War on Global Markets Joseph Glauber, Senior Research Fellow, Market, Trade and Institutions, IFPRI (Presentation) How Domestic Policy Measures Exacerbate the Impact of the War David Laborde, Division Director, Agrifood Economics Division (ESA), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Prevalence and Impact of Landmines on Ukrainian Agricultural Production Caitlin Welsh, Director, Global Food and Water Security Program, Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Moderator Charlotte Hebebrand, Director of Communications and Public Affairs, IFPRI More about this seminar: https://www.ifpri.org/event/food-system-repercussions-russia-ukraine-war Subscribe IFPRI Insights newsletter and event announcements at www.ifpri.org/content/newsletter-subscription

Can Sustainable Livestock Systems and Alternative Proteins Address the Climate Crisis? Nov 07, 2023

Show notes

CGIAR SEMINAR SERIES Can Sustainable Livestock Systems and Alternative Proteins Address the Climate Crisis? Co-organized by IFPRI, CGIAR, and Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) NOV 7, 2023 - 9:30 TO 11:00AM EST Climate change is severely impacting our food systems, making it increasingly challenging to provide food security and healthy diets for all people. At the same time, food systems contribute 25–30% of all greenhouse gas emissions. The livestock sector alone contributes about half of these GHGs, and has a large land and water footprint. The livestock sector is also the fastest growing agricultural sector in Africa and other parts of the Global South, where access to healthy, affordable milk, meat, and egg remains low. Clearly food system adaptation, including in the livestock sector, must deliver both mitigation and healthy diets. The CGIAR’s 2023 Achieving Agriculture Breakthrough report identifies seven key technological areas and approaches for driving real change in the agriculture sector. Three of these are related to livestock: reducing methane emissions from livestock, livestock breeding for climate resilience, and alternative proteins to replace traditional animal-source proteins. The third seminar of the CGIAR Policy Seminar Series on Strengthening Food Systems will delve into findings and recommendations around sustainable livestock technologies, healthy diets, methane emissions, and alternative proteins, including promising initiatives and technologies that can be pursued to address climate change and healthy diets. Welcome Remarks Jan Brix, Senior Policy Officer, Division of Agriculture and Rural Development, German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) Appolinaire Djikeng, Director General and CGIAR Senior Director of Livestock-Based Systems (ILRI) Overview of the Breakthrough Report Loraine Ronchi, CGIAR Senior Advisor for Policy Impact, IFPRI Priority Sustainable Livestock Technologies Fiona Flintan, Senior Scientist, International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and Lead of the CGIAR Research Initiative on Livestock and Climate The Role of Alternative Proteins Claudia Ringler, Director, Natural Resources and Resilience (NRR), IFPRI Animal-Source Foods and Sustainable Healthy Diets Jef Leroy, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI Discussants Dennis Rijnders, Commercial Director, EMEA-Bovaer Mary Mbole Kariuki, African Union – Interafrican Bureau for Animal Resources (AU-IBAR) Fabrice DeClerck, Science Director, EAT Stephanie von Stein, Director of International Engagement, The Good Food Institute Moderator Michael Victor, Head, Communications and Knowledge Management, International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) More about this seminar: https://www.ifpri.org/event/can-sustainable-livestock-systems-and-alternative-proteins-address-climate-crisis Subscribe IFPRI Insights newsletter and event announcements at www.ifpri.org/content/newsletter-subscription

A Look at Global Rice Markets: Export Restrictions, El Niño, and Price Controls Oct 18, 2023

Show notes

IFPRI-AMIS SEMINAR SERIES A Look at Global Rice Markets: Export Restrictions, El Niño, and Price Controls Co-organized by IFPRI and Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) OCT 18, 2023 - 9:00 TO 10:30AM EDT To address rising domestic prices for rice, India banned exports of non-basmati rice on July 20, 2023—a move many feared would drive global prices even higher. Since then, these worries have been realized: Thailand’s benchmark price for rice has increased 14 percent, Viet Nam’s rice prices are up 22 percent, and India’s white rice prices are up 12 percent. To prevent exporters from undermining its ban, India instituted a surcharge of 20 percent on exports of parboiled rice and a minimum sales price for basmati rice in August. India’s actions have had repercussions around the world as domestic consumers struggle with higher prices and rice importers seek alternative suppliers. Some markets have experienced cases of panic buying (the United States and Canada), additional export restrictions (such as export licensing requirements in Myanmar), and price controls (retail price caps in the Philippines). At an August meeting of ASEAN countries, leaders committed to maintain an unimpeded flow of agricultural products and refrain from using “unjustified” trade barriers. Meanwhile, a strengthening El Niño in the Pacific has threatened to cut the rice production of key Asian suppliers and push prices sharply higher. This webinar will provide a brief update on the global rice situation. Opening Remarks Joseph Glauber, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI and Interim Secretary, Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) An Overview of the Global Rice Market Shirley Mustafa, Economist, Markets and Trade, Social and Economic Development Stream, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) The Impact of El Niño on Rice Markets Christina Justice, Senior Faculty Specialist, University of Maryland and Coordinator, GEOGLAM Crop Monitor for Early Warning The Impact of Export Restrictions in the Rice Market Abdullah Mamun, Senior Research Analyst, IFPRI The Importance of Rice in Senegal Fousseini Traoré, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI Moderator Seth Meyer, Chief Economist, USDA and AMIS Chair More about this seminar: https://www.ifpri.org/event/look-global-rice-markets-export-restrictions-el-nino-and-price-controls Subscribe IFPRI Insights newsletter and event announcements at www.ifpri.org/content/newsletter-subscription LINKS Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS): https://www.amis-outlook.org/

NPS book launch: Political Economy and Policy Analysis (PEPA) Sourcebook Oct 09, 2023

NPS book launch Political Economy and Policy Analysis (PEPA) Sourcebook Co-organized by the CGIAR Initiative on National Policies and Strategies, Alliance Bioversity and CIAT, IFPRI and IWMI October 10, 2023 - 09:00 TO 10:30AM EDT Stakeholders working in food system policy research and development often ask, “What works where, why, and how?” These fundamental questions fuel other important debates—what are the “windows of opportunity” for reform and policy change? Are biotech crops part of the solution to solving climate, food, and nutrition security challenges in developing economies? What institutional innovations are “best fit” for managing shared natural resources to avoid conflict? This webinar will launch a new political economy and policy analysis (PEPA) sourcebook that offers a unique combination of frameworks, analytical tools, and case studies to answer key questions relevant to agrifood system transformation. This event showcases the PEPA Sourcebook by applying frameworks to case study examples and discussing the relevance of PEPA for national policies and strategies.

Facilitating Anticipatory Action with Improved Early Warning Guidance Sep 25, 2023

Show notes

IFPRI-AMIS SEMINAR SERIES Facilitating Anticipatory Action with Improved Early Warning Guidance Co-organized by IFPRI and Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) SEP 26, 2023 - 9:00 TO 10:30AM EDT Worldwide, the number of people facing crisis-level or worse acute food insecurity has more than doubled since 2017. The 2023 Mid-Year Update of the Global Report on Food Crisis (GRFC) signals 238 million people in 48 countries with recent, comparable data are facing high levels of acute food insecurity, an increase by 10 percent from 2022. The GRFC provides trends and projections of food crises and informs the Global Network Against Food Crisis on where humanitarian and developmental assistance is most needed. These new acute food insecurity numbers come at a time of ongoing uncertainty in global food markets amidst the repercussions of the war in Ukraine, fears for a strong El Niño phenomenon and other potential shocks. Most food crises grow out of compounding causes such as conflict, adverse weather shocks fueled by climate change, and economic shocks. A good understanding of these causes can facilitate the development of sound crisis response plans and anticipatory action to help mitigate a looming crisis and build food systems resilience. Calls have grown for preemptive or anticipatory action to mitigate impacts, reduce recovery costs, and strengthen social, economic, and environmental resilience to shocks, but resources for humanitarian responses still remain significantly larger than those for preventive development action. This seminar will take stock of existing early warning, early action systems (EWEAs) and examine whether they provide sufficient guidance to policymakers and decisionmakers keen to enhance anticipatory action and is featured under the IFPRI-AMIS policy seminar series on Making Sense of Food and Agricultural Markets. Opening Remarks Johan Swinnen, Managing Director, Systems Transformation, CGIAR; Director General, IFPRI Global Food Crisis: Where do we Stand and How is the GRFC Servicing Early Warning Systems? Sara McHattie, Global Coordinator of Food Security Information Network (FSIN) How to Identify Food Crisis Risks?

Payments for Ecosystem Services: Win-Win Solutions? Sep 21, 2023

Show notes

CGIAR SEMINAR SERIES Payments for Ecosystem Services: Win-Win Solutions? Co-organized by IFPRI, the CGIAR, and Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) Session at Tropentag 2023 SEP 21, 2023 - 7:45 TO 9:15AM EDT Globally, five out of six farms are operated by smallholder farmers who produce around one-third of the world’s food. These farms provide a wide range of additional ecosystem services, such as carbon storage, pollination, and cultural and supporting services. However, smallholder households face continued and often growing challenges to making a living from their farms. They also tend to be the poorest and most food-insecure populations in low-and middle-income countries. Evidence suggests that payments for ecosystem services can diversify smallholder earnings and incentivize more sustainable farming and land management practices. While a number of such smallholder-focused schemes have been implemented around the world, they have not gained enough traction to improve farm incomes or environmental outcomes. This second seminar of the CGIAR Policy Seminar Series on Strengthening Food Systems examines past and current ecosystem service payment schemes targeted at smallholders, evaluates their effectiveness, and impacts, and explores how such schemes could be taken forward in order to help build greater resilience within food systems. Welcome Remarks Johan Swinnen, Managing Director, Systems Transformation, CGIAR; Director General, IFPRI Payments for Ecosystem Services: What, Where & How?

Market Concentration in the Grain Industry: Implications for Food Security? Sep 07, 2023

Show notes

IFPRI-AMIS SEMINAR SERIES Market Concentration in the Grain Industry: Implications for Food Security? Co-organized by IFPRI and Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) SEP 7, 2023 - 9:30 TO 11:00AM EDT On June 13, 2023, Bunge Limited, a US-based food trader and processor, announced its intention to buy rival grain trader Viterra, a company controlled by the commodity trading firm Glencore Plc and two Canadian pension funds. If the merger succeeds, the new company would be the second largest grain trading company in the world after Cargill and become a dominant player in wheat and soybean markets. Markets for agricultural inputs like fertilizer and seed are also highly concentrated. Please join us for the fourth seminar of the IFPRI-AMIS series on Making Sense of Food and Agriculture Markets, which will examine whether increased concentration necessarily leads to increased market power or simply reflects the underlying economic efficiencies controlling value chains. Is this a food security concern and if so, what should be the role of international institutions and organizations in regulating markets?
