CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
IFPRI invites nominations highlighting interventions that have had a significant impact on food security in a new project:
Millions Fed: Proven Successes in Agricultural Development
To facilitate improved agricultural development policy and investment decisions and to learn and share lessons from past successes, IFPRI, with support from The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is leading the Millions Fed project to document evidence on what works in agriculture—what sorts of policies, programs, and investments in agricultural development have substantially reduced hunger and poverty.
We invite nominations highlighting interventions that have had a significant impact on food security,
including those that have empowered women and vulnerable groups to improve their livelihoods. Nominations may include, for example, research and extension programs that have improved on-farm yields and outputs for small-scale farmers; public investment programs that have helped food-insecure consumers meet their daily nutritional requirements and accumulate assets; community-led efforts that have conserved soil, water, forests, and biodiversity; or market-based interventions that have strengthened the ability of small-scale farmers and food-insecure consumers to gain access to production inputs, rural services, and agricultural commodities.This is a unique opportunity to showcase successes in global agricultural development. Lessons learned will reach those who can contribute to local and global efforts to improve food security through agricultural development—policymakers, development practitioners, donors, scholars, nongovernmental organizations, and others concerned about the future of global agriculture.
