On February 28, IFPRI will host the launch of Agriculture for Improved Nutrition: Seizing the Momentum. This book reviews the latest evidence, results from on-the-ground interventions, and recent national policy experiences of bringing agriculture and nutrition closer together. A three-part blog series accompanies the book’s release, beginning with a post by the book’s editors including IFPRI Director General Shenggen Fan.
Additional highlights from this week’s Compact2025 News in Brief include:
- The African Union Commission, the African Development Bank, and global partners launched the Continental Nutrition Accountability Scorecard.
- The Africa Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition finds hunger in Africa continues to rise in 2018 after many years of decline, threatening the continent's efforts to meet SDG2.
- A special issue of Food Policy presents findings from five years of research under the Leveraging Agriculture for Nutrition in South Asia (LANSA) program.
