Who We Are, What We Do…Research program co-led by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI, CGIAR) and University of Minnesota. We generate data products
to help guide strategic investments for more productive and profitable farming in sub-Saharan Africa.
We do this through:• Harmonized and geo-referenced
datasets at administrative units down to 10-km grid
• Analytics, modeling and data visualization tools
• Flagship studies, atlases

Questions we are passionate about… Where are the poor
and what is their welfare status?
Which farming systems do the poor most depend?
How best to tune productivity targets to different sub-national conditions?
What are the constraints affecting on-farm productivity, technology adoption, and market integration?
What investments in technologies and practices might best address those constraints?
What is the aggregate landscape of investments across the region?
What are the benefits of investments on productivity, farm income and ultimately, the reduction of poverty and hunger, and income distribution?

AboutIFPRI ifpri.orgThe International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) seeks sustainable solutions for ending hunger and poverty. IFPRI is one of 15 centers supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), an alliance of 64 governments, private foundations, and international and regional organizations.
HarvestChoice harvestchoice.orgHarvestChoice generates knowledge products to help guide strategic investments to improve the well-being of poor people in sub-Saharan Africa through more productive and profitable farming. To do this, a novel and spatially explicit evaluation framework is being developed and deployed. By design, primary knowledge products are currently targeted to the needs of investors,
policymakers and program managers, as well as the analysts and technical specialists who support them. Most decisions that HarvestChoice targets are those having implications that cut across country boundaries.
