How USD 10 Billion Can Transform Food Systems in Ethiopia, Malawi, and Nigeria: Report launch
This webinar, hosted in partnership with the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the Shamba Centre for Food and Climate, presents the findings of a new report exploring food systems, nutrition, and environmental sustainability in Ethiopia, Malawi, and Nigeria.
A new study finds that it is possible to achieve sustainable food system transformation in the next decade in Ethiopia, Malawi, and Nigeria—by increasing public investment by USD 10 billion per year on average from 2023–2030 and through a more effective portfolio of interventions that achieve multiple outcomes.
In one of the most ambitious efforts to date, researchers from IFPRI and IISD, closely engaged with the government, donors, and stakeholders in each country, synthesized the evidence base and then applied sophisticated macro- and micro-economic modelling techniques to identify pathways to provide affordable and healthy diets to all people in an environmentally sustainable way. The report finds that the biggest wins would come from investing in sustainable livestock production and reducing food loss and waste. Just over half of the USD 10 billion needed per year must come from donors.
Join IISD, IFPRI, and the Shamba Centre for Food and Climate for a webinar on March 16 to learn more about the findings.
