IFPRI's 2025 Global Food Policy Report (GFPR) focuses on lessons learned over the institute's 50 years of existence and how these can be applied to today's challenges of transforming food systems to be sustainable, healthy, and equitable. Its insights are particularly valuable for Africa, which has tremendous potential for sustainable agricultural growth, yet faces many obstacles.

This was the topic as IFPRI and the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) sponsored a 2025 GFPR launch event September 3 during the 2025 Africa Food Systems Forum in Dakar, Senegal. Building on the 2025 Kampala Declaration by African countries laying out a series of goals for agrifood system transformation, the session brought together African ministers, policymakers, researchers, and food systems leaders to reflect on past policy choices and chart a course for the future.
