How is #AI being developed, financed, deployed, & governed across food, land, and water systems in low- and middle-income
countries?
🗨️ On Sept. 15, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers will discuss the resulting implications for food policy research.

Findings from a recent study show that modifying Malawi's national fertilizer subsidy program with vouchers increases fertilizer use and maize yields.

📈 IFPRI researchers argue that aligning the World Bank AgriConnect Initiative with the CAADP #Kampala_Declaration can reinforce African-led agrifood transformation built on evidence, inclusion and mutual accountability.

#ICYMI: An analysis across dozens of African countries shows that the Iran war has produced sharply different outcomes for domestic fuel and food markets.

Partial crop losses in Nigeria have more than tripled in five years—from about 6% to over 20% of plots.
New data show how climate shocks and conflict are increasingly threatening harvests, food security, and rural livelihoods: blogs.worldbank.org/en/opend…
While food security improved slightly in Gaza since October 2025, declines in #foodaid over the past 6 months have threatened those gains, according to a new @IPCC_CH alert. Now as many as 1.9 million people face acute food insecurity

Global crude rose 70%, but African food impact hinges on policy, not global shocks. While diesel jumped 86% in #Nigeria, costs stayed flat in francophone nations.
Costly subsidies defer a fiscal reckoning; we must de-risk ag value chains. 🌾⛽

In 2016-16, #ElNino cut #maize harvests in #Malawi by 29 percent. With this year's El Nino phenomenon forecast to be just as strong, if not stronger, how can policymakers and farmers prepare?

Agricultural #WaterManagement isn’t just about canals, and hectares and solutions must reflect each country’s water realities, and #FoodSecurity goals.
Explore the report to see how tailored solutions can rebalance #water, and food systems: openknowledge.worldbank.org/…
Continuing #conflict over #StraitofHormuz could spark #foodcrisis as #fertilizer supplies drop & prices continue to rise. Watch all the latest fertilizer #market trends on the FSP's Fertilizer Market Dashboard: foodsecurityportal.org/node/…
Food Security Portal (FSP) retweeted
Most African countries depend on imported fuel, which leaves them exposed to shocks they cannot control, such as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The same chokepoints carry imported fertilizer, compounding the dependence.
Learn more about how African countries are managing these shocks and what they could mean for food prices 👉 on.cgiar.org/4wBcuB3

The @FAO Food Price Index and @AMISoutlook Market Monitor saw generally stable commodity prices in June, although ongoing tensions over the Strait of Hormuz continue to impact #fertilizer prices and agricultural production bit.ly/4wqrgKx

What does it take to support #RuralDevelopment in a changing world?
On #WorldRuralDevelopmentDay, IFPRI’s 2025 Global Food Policy Report points to a simple but powerful idea: strong rural economies start with empowered farmers. 👩🌾👨🌾
#GFPR2025’s ‘Section III: Supporting Farmers’ highlights how that support is evolving:
➡️ Advisory services are shifting from one-way technology transfer to helping farmers innovate and adapt.
➡️ Improved seeds and crop varieties foster gains in productivity, nutrition, and resilience.
➡️ Insurance and risk management tools are expanding to help farmers navigate uncertainty and shocks.
Shifting from isolated interventions to integrated, farmer-centered approaches builds #resilience over time.
