IFPRI’s foresight modeling systems cover food, land, and water systems across the world’s poorest and most food insecure geographies. Thanks to longstanding investments in these systems, IFPRI is uniquely positioned to provide rapid analysis of the impacts of global or domestic crises on agrifood systems, poverty, and food security at global, regional, national, or subnational level.
In this webinar, it will be demonstrated how the RIAPA modeling system has been utilized to evaluate the potential effects of recent global shocks on economies, agrifood systems, and household poverty and malnutrition. Findings will be shared from a cross-country analysis on the impacts of COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine, where RIAPA was used to provide real-time impact assessments and policy advice. Additionally, it will be discussed a recent study on the impacts of El Niño, linking climate and crop level analysis to a RIAPA country model of Malawi, highlighting the economywide implications and informing a national preparedness strategy.
