The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) is an international agricultural research center founded in 1975 to improve the understanding of national agricultural and food policies to promote the adoption of innovations in agricultural technology.^{[7][8][9][10]} Additionally, IFPRI was meant to shed more light on the role of agricultural and rural development in the broader development pathway of a country.^{[11][12][13][14][page needed][failed verification]} The mission of IFPRI is to provide research-based policy solutions that sustainably reduce poverty and end hunger and malnutrition.^[15]

IFPRI carries out food policy research and disseminates it through hundreds of publications, bulletins, conferences, and other initiatives. 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.^[16][17] IFPRI operates in more than 50 countries with offices in several developing countries, including China, Ethiopia, and India, and has research staff working in many more countries around the world. Most of the research takes place in developing countries in Central America, South America, Africa, and Asia.^[18][19]

IFPRI is part of a network of international research institutes funded in part by the CGIAR,^[20] which in turn is funded by governments, private businesses and foundations, and the World Bank.^{[21][22][23][24]}
