TOOLS & MODELS
IFPRI has developed a wide set of tools to support early warning, analysis, and food crisis response. They include databases and alert systems that monitor changes in agrifood markets, fertilizer markets, agricultural production, and stocks as well as country-level vulnerability, and that track policy responses to crises. Many of these tools are available through IFPRI’s Food Security Portal. Analysis and information on current issues are provided through topical web pages and blog series. IFPRI also supports analytic models that provide projections of crisis and policy impacts.
