Shaping Food Policy in a Changing World: Research Priorities for Greater Impact

Special Event IFPRI Policy Seminar Shaping Food Policy in a Changing World: Research Priorities for Greater Impact Organized by IFPRI, with support from the Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation December 15, 2025 In today’s fast-changing world and evolving food systems, the need for evidence-based food policy has never been more urgent – demanding research that is timely, inclusive, and tailored to context. Reliable data and rigorous analysis are essential, but research must also evolve – and become more timely, more relevant, and more inclusive of diverse voices and disciplines. Strengthening how we generate, communicate, and apply evidence is key to ensuring food systems deliver better outcomes for people and the planet. Join us at IFPRI for a high-level seminar that brings together researchers, policymakers, development partners and leading food system thinkers who have helped deliver science-based impact around the world to explore: • The role of food policy research in shaping past policies, programs, and investments • Emerging research questions and challenges in a rapidly shifting global landscape • How research and outreach must adapt to strengthen pathways from evidence to impact • How research institutions can adapt to remain responsive in a rapidly changing world To mark IFPRI’s 50th anniversary, the event will also celebrate the contributions of the Institute’s alumni and launch the Institute’s new research strategy. 00:00:00 - Inaugural Session - 01:09:45 - Making an Impact: Successes and Future Approaches - 02:11:13 - Accelerating Research-to-Impact Pathways - 02:57:44 - IFPRI Alumni Roundtable on Food Policy Research Opportunities and Challenges - 04:19:22 - Launch of the New IFPRI Strategy - 05:59:54 - Closing Session - More about this Event:
