Launch event - Global Food Policy Report 2018

Tuesday 20 March 2018 - 09:30 to 11:00 am EDT

Antiglobalism was on the rise in 2017. What will mean for food security and nutrition? IFPRI’s 2018 Global Food Policy Report examines the impacts of global integration—including the movement of goods, investment, people, and knowledge—and the threat of current antiglobalization pressures.

This seventh annual report also provides perspective on the major food policy issues, developments, and decisions of 2017 and highlights challenges and opportunities for 2018.
