SUMMARY:FAS Visits IFPRI
DESCRIPTION:\nA team from the Foundation for Agrarian Studies (FAS) visited the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in New Delhi on 2 April, 2025, as part of the projects funded by the CGIAR-Standing Panel on Impact Assessment (SPIA) titled “The Dynamics of Agricultural Innovation in North India” and “The Dynamics of Agricultural Innovation in South India.” The FAS team, comprising Professor Madhura Swaminathan, Dr. Sandipan Baksi, Dr. Tapas S. Modak, and Sai Chandan Kotu, aimed to document the innovations undertaken by IFPRI over the last 20 years. \nIFPRI is a CGIAR centre that was established in 1975 with headquarters in Washington, DC, United States of America, with the objective of developing policy solutions for countries to tackle poverty, hunger, and malnutrition. IFPRI began its South Asia program in 2002 and established its South Asia Regional Office at the NASC complex in New Delhi, India, in 2005. \nThe FAS team had an engaging discussion with Dr. Anjani Kumar, Senior Research Fellow, and Dr. Avinash Kishore, Senior Research Fellow. They provided a detailed outline of IFPRI’s research over the years, with a specific focus on the work done in India. They also introduced the FAS team to the different research themes that are being undertaken in India and the corresponding researchers. IFPRI’s team was appreciative of this project and underscored the importance of documenting the various policy contributions made by CGIAR centres. \nThe visit provided the FAS team with valuable insights into IFPRI’s research in India and also helped them in thematising the organisation’s policy contributions. The exchange of relevant material by IFRPI’s team is expected to further enrich the ongoing efforts under the project. \n
