IFPRI (2023) Global food policy report 2023: Rethinking food crisis responses: Synopsis # 12 p.
- Food systems are not only susceptible to increasingly complex and compounding shocks, but are also closely intertwined with other essential systems — climate and environmental services, trade and the economy, infrastructure, governance, healthcare, and social protection.
- Failures within these systems can cause crises in our food systems, and in turn, weaknesses in our food systems can drive environmental degradation, conflict, economic disruptions, and poverty and inequity.
- Building a more proactive response to disaster — one that is anticipatory, flexible, and inclusive — can produce multiple benefits.
- The process of improving crisis response systems should be rooted in high-quality evidence: robust data, state-of-the-art tools, and policy analyses and scenarios.
- This evidence can help policymakers, donors, the international development community, and the private sector to move quickly in times of need.
"Available funds can be increased by repurposing the more than $600 billion in global spending that goes to agricultural support. Some funds could be reallocated to incentivize the adoption of more sustainable, climate-smart practices and invested in agricultural research and development aimed at traditional targets such as productivity gains, as well as new targets such as improved resilience." (p.22)
