International Food Policy Research Institute's (IFPRI) 2025 Global Food Policy Report examines the evolution and impact of food policy research and assesses how it can better equip policymakers to meet future challenges and opportunities.
The 2025 Global Food Policy Report takes a sweeping view of the past half-century, reviewing the evolution of both policies and policy research, highlighting lessons learned, and presenting key considerations for addressing the challenges and opportunities of today and tomorrow. Policies play a key role in advancing food systems and the health of all people and the planet. While many factors influence policymaking, evidence-based food policy research is crucial for informing policy choices, policy implementation, and policy adaptation.
Crime is mentioned in relation to challenges for adaptation as is the need for food value chains to be resilient to 'shocks' including rising cybercrime.
