The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) is an international agricultural research center founded in the early 1970s to improve the understanding of national agricultural and food policies to promote the adoption of innovations in agricultural technology. Additionally, IFPRI was meant to shed more light on the role of agricultural and rural development in the broader development pathway of a country.〔 Farrar, Curtis. 2000.

IFPRI was organized as a District of Columbia non-profit, non-stock corporation on March 5, 1975 and its first research bulletin was produced in February 1976.〔International Food Policy Research Institute.

Most of the research takes place in developing countries in Central America, South America, Africa, and Asia. IFPRI is part of a network of international research institutes funded in part by the (CGIAR ), which in turn is funded by governments, private businesses and foundations, and the World Bank.〔 (Obituary: Peter Oram ), the Guardian (London), 22 February 2007.〕〔The Europa directory of international organizations, Volume 9, Europa Publications Limited, University of California (2008) ISBN 978-1-85743-425-5 p.1949〕〔Michael Barker, ("Bill Gates Engineers Another Green Revolution (Part 3 of 3)" ), Znet, August 8, 2008.〕〔GRAIN, (CGIAR joins global farmland grab ), September 2009 GRAIN.org〕 ==Scope== IFPRI's institutional strategy rests on three pillars: research, capacity strengthening, and policy communication.〔(Communications )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Food Policy Research Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
