2. World : At a cross roads of too little and too much
Annual world food production can provide 2720
Kilo cal. per day/per person to all
World agriculture produces 17% more calories than
it did 30 years ago.

100-140 million children Vitamin A deficient
30% world’s population anaemic
Iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) affect 740 million
people
Over fed and Under fed populations
4. Problem is beyond food production..
Quality of food (Nutrients enhanced, biofortified,
safe)
Distribution and access
Adequate policies (focusing on, not just food but
nutrition security)
Leveraging agriculture to address,
- Protein-energy malnutrition
- Micronutrient deficiencies

13. 4 Themes
1. Leveraging value chains for nutrition
2. Biofortification of staple crops
3. Agricultural associated diseases
4. Evaluating nutrition outcomes in programs
14. Approach: Solution-driven R4D to achieve impact
Dairy Value Chain Development Through CRP
Consumers
Major intervention with development partners
Value chain development team + research partners
Strategic CRP 3.7 Cross-cutting Platforms

15. Key Policy Needs
Need for cross sectorial collaboration: Health, Agriculture,
Environment, Trade, Education
Quantity and quality (food and nutrition security)
Value chain approach
Economic data (eg. Impact of price volatility on nutritional
status)
Resource Allocation
When applicable International commodity prices are used, to calculate the total value of each commodity produced by each country and subsequently used in the ranking of commodities and countries. They are applied in order to avoid the use of exchange rates for obtaining continental and world aggregates, and also to improve and facilitate international comparative analysis of productivity at the national level.
CRP4 was submitted by IFPRI; proposal was prepared in close collaboration with ILRI, and with support from 10 other Centers and an extensive consultation process with a large number of partners from ag, health, nutr
A quick overview of where we are and some thoughts on where we should go- I would like to flag some key opportunities in terms our investments in research, establishing new partnerships and also some resource mobilizing opportunities.
