This paper discusses the feasibility of applying a near-surface remote sensing approach in the index insurance component of the R4 Rural Resilience Initiative in Ethiopia. Specifically, we test a prototype for using smartphone images of insured fields (or ‘picture-based insurance’) to monitor crops and manage basis risk in R4 insurance policies. We find that the […]

They are being told that buying organic foods, unprocessed and sourced from small local […]
This fact sheet is organized to reflect the status and/or trends of different components in the framework for food systems for diets and nutrition based on a selection of indicators for each of the domains. The indicators have been selected for their orientation toward the goal of better quality diets; their contribution to assessment of […]
The COVID-19 pandemic is undermining food and nutrition security on a global scale. IFPRI estimates show that globally the pandemic could push 80-140 million people into extreme poverty in 2020, more than half in Africa south of the Sahara.

Relying on unique pricing and cost data, we find that coffee exporters are willing […]
