Agricultural investments and hunger in Africa modeling potential contributions to SDG2 – Zero Hunger

“…To explore the role of increased agricultural productivity for food security in Africa, we use IFPRI’s IMPACT system of models (Robinson et al, 2015). IMPACT has been used extensively in projecting future agricultural production and demand and changes to food security globally and regionally (Delgado et al, 2001, Nelson et al, 2010, Rosegrant et al, 1999, Rosegrant et al, 2001, Sulser et al, 2011). It has been used to explore alternative agricultural productivity futures (Islam et al, 2016, Rosegrant et al, 2014), including the potential impacts of climate change on agriculture (Ignaciuk and Mason-D'Croz, 2014, Nelson et al, 2010, Sulser et al, 2015).…”

COVID-19, Agriculture, and Food Security in Indonesia

“…The government plays an important role in protecting the price and system through regulations (Lele and Goswami, 2020). Food security is closely related to trade, demand, and price (Sulser et al, 2011). Problems arising from agriculture and the food-supply chain are widespread food shortage and sharp price increases (Altieri and Nicholls, 2020), serious problems for food security (Savary et al, 2012).…”

“…Importing food is one solution to meeting demand. But, as Mukiibi (2020) and Sulser et al (2011) suggested, broad food imports make countries dependent on imported food. Limitations on exports and imports during the pandemic applied have meant that countries relying on imported food are more vulnerable to food insecurity due to difficulties importing food.…”
