The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) will release “2017 Global Food Policy Report” on March 23 in a Washington, D.C. event streamed on the internet. The report takes an in-depth look at the challenges and opportunities of urbanization for food security and nutrition.
At the event, a panel will discuss:
- What we know about the impacts of urbanization on hunger and nutrition
- Our greatest research and data needs for better policy making that will ensure food security and improve diets for growing urban populations
- How we can better connect rural smallholders to urban food consumers to ensure that smallholders and urban residents benefit from expanding urban food markets
- What role informal markets play in feeding cities, and how can they be better governed to increase urban food security
