This year's report documents how high food price inflation is associated with increases in food insecurity and child malnutrition. Vulnerable groups, including low-income households, women, and rural communities, can be particularly affected by food price inflation, risking setbacks in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.
This FAO publication explores how a systems approach can be effectively applied across agrifood systems. Also highlights real-world examples of how countries, regions and municipalities are successfully integrating these shifts into practice.
This OECD website provides profiles with detailed policies and financing for international development by provider. Profiles include information on where the money flows, what it funds and how it is managed.
Seville, 30 June 2025 - At the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4), the Donor Platform hosted a high-level side event titled “Financing Agrifood Systems for People, Planet and Prosperity,” marking the launch of a new White Paper that calls for a dramatic shift in how the world invests in agrifood systems.
The Global Donor Platform for Rural Development’s Thematic Working Group on Sustainable/Blended Finance for Food Systems, in partnership with the Agri-SME Learning Collective (ASLC), is pleased to share the key findings from phase one pilot testing of the Catalytic Capital Framework.
The year 2024 marked the end of IFAD’s 2022–2024 project cycle. By the end of 2024, IFAD had delivered US$3.336 billion in funding for new projects, representing 99.5 per cent of its target. These new investments respond to a challenging global context, one in which progress in eliminating hunger has stalled.
The OECD proposes a systemic approach grounded in better data, more and better development finance, and supportive policy environments. Achieving this will require bold political leadership and international coordination. This paper sets the foundation to turn the promise of private capital into tangible outcomes for people, the planet, and prosperity.
The world's agrifood systems stand at a crossroads. With 1.3 billion youth globally, the future of food, livelihoods, and economic resilience depends on their participation in agrifood systems. At the same time, agrifood systems need youth to drive productivity, innovation, and sustainability in a crucial and rapidly evolving sector. FAO's "The Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems" report is a call to action.
The Global Donor Platform for Rural Development is a vibrant partnership, advocacy and knowledge network of key donors focusing on food security and rural development.
