As we approach #WorldEnvironmentDay tomorrow, this new #IFPRIBlog asks a simple but transformative question: What does food really cost once we account for environmental degradation, labor conditions, and social inequities?

πΎ Smallholder farmers often face resource, knowledge, and management constraints at the same time.
New evidence from #Malawi finds that addressing these barriers together delivers stronger gains in production and household welfare than tackling them separately.

Fragile and conflict-affected settings account for a growing share of global poverty. Roughly 2 billion people live in these areas, accounting for 25% of the worldβs population but 72% of the worldβs extreme poor.
On June 10, join IFPRI & @UNUWIDER to explore how fragile economies struggle to sustain growth, create jobs, & recover from repeated shocks.

Research shows that combining resource transfers with intensive agricultural extension can produce larger and more sustained gains than either intervention alone.
