Report: transform food systems in Ethiopia, Malawi, and Nigeria

16 March 2023. How USD 10 billion can transform food systems in Ethiopia, Malawi, and Nigeria: Report launch by IFPRI and IISD

A new study finds that sustainable food system transformation can be achieved in the next decade in Ethiopia, Malawi, and Nigeria by increasing public investment by US$10 billion per year (on average from 2023 to 2030) and implementing a more effective portfolio of interventions that achieve multiple outcomes.

In an ambitious effort, researchers from IFPRI and IISD, engaged closely with the government, donors, and stakeholders in each country, synthesized the evidence, and then applied sophisticated macro- and microeconomic modeling techniques to identify pathways to provide affordable and healthy diets to all people in an environmentally sustainable way.

Country-level work building on Ceres2030

IISD and IFPRI have undertaken ‘deep dives’ into the nexus of food systems, climate change, and diets in three countries: Malawi, Ethiopia, and Nigeria. This work builds on the Ceres2030 project and aims to strengthen the evidence base for climate-smart nutrition interventions in agriculture and food systems.

Summary Report

This report summarizes how public interventions in all three countries could help end hunger, make diets healthier and more affordable, and improve small-scale producers' livelihoods in climate-friendly ways.

Ethiopia

Ethiopia is not on track to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. This report outlines what is needed to get agriculture and food systems back on the right track.

Malawi

Likewise, healthy diets are unattainable for most people in Malawi. This report details what interventions are needed to support the transition to sustainable food systems and what they will cost.

Nigeria

Hunger and poverty have also been rising in Nigeria. This report provides a roadmap for how country-level decision makers and the donor community can transform food systems in the country.
