This publication-a joint effort by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA)-is being released in the context of growing changes and fragmentation in global economic and trade relationships. Countries are increasingly adopting protectionist measures in response to recent crises and the decreased competitiveness of value chains, due to rising production, marketing and transportation costs. The complex multilateral trade system and the urgent need to implement concrete actions in this area are prompting countries to work towards the adoption of new standards that aim to protect and preserve the environment bu...
The Government of Indonesia and FAO have recognized the need for thorough analysis and modelling of Indonesia’s food systems to support food systems transformation efforts in the country. This is needed to provide a better understanding of the governance context in food systems, including the political economy dynamics influencing performance, as well as to identify synergies and trade-offs across different policy goals and optimal policy mixes for achieving multiple policy objectives. In this regard, FAO facilitated a project to pilot an innovative approach to modelling for food systems transformation. This modelling approach was developed and implemented by a team of researchers from IFP...
The Light Metals symposia at the TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition present the most recent developments, discoveries, and practices in primary aluminum science and technology. The annual Light Metals volume has become the definitive reference in the field of aluminum production and related light metal technologies. The 2025 collection includes contributions from the following symposia: Alumina & Bauxite Aluminum Alloys: Development and Manufacturing Aluminum Reduction Technology Decarbonization and Sustainability in Aluminum Primary Processing: Joint Session of Aluminum Reduction, Electrode Technology, and REWAS 2025 Electrode Technology for Aluminum Production Melt Processing, Casting and Recycling Recycling and Sustainability in Cast Shop Technology: Joint Session with REWAS 2025 Scandium Extraction and Use in Aluminum Alloys
Copper 2025 is the first of three volumes devoted to the Copper 2025 + Ni-Co 2025 + Cross-Cutting Symposia of the Extraction 2025 Meeting & Exhibition joint conference, held November 16–20, 2025, at the Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. The success of the Copper Conference is thanks to the efforts of eight leading international societies (IIMCh, GDMB, MMIJ, TMS, SME, MetSoc of CIM, NFSOC, and SAIMM), who continue to bring forth symposia of the highest quality on mining, mineral processing, pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, electrometallurgy, process control, and instrumentation. The Extraction 2025 volumes collect important research examining new developments in fo...
This text deals with risk assessment and management using a quantitative approach with case studies drawn from a variety of discipline areas. It combines a quantitative treatment with case studies, problems and solutions, as well as balancing the dimensions of the real and imagined components.
When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, sparking fears of a global food crisis, IFPRI responded rapidly to the need for information and policy advice to address the crisis. From the first moments of the conflict, a new IFPRI blog series provided critical information and insights into the impacts on food security, caused by rising food, fertilizer, and fuel prices and trade disruptions, for vulnerable countries and regions. This book is a compilation of those blog posts, which include analysis of trade flows, tracking of food prices and policy responses, and results of impact modeling. Together, they provide an overview of how the crisis has progressed, how the international community and individual countries responded with efforts to ensure food security, and what we are learning about the best ways to ensure food security in the aftermath of a major shock to global food systems.
"The International Resource Panel (IRP) was established to provide independent, coherent and authoritative scientific assessments on the use of natural resources and their environmental impacts over the full life cycle. The Panel aims to contribute to a better understanding of how to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation while enhancing well-being. The Secretariat is hosted by the United Nations Environment Programme. IRP assessments demonstrate the opportunities for governments, businesses and wider society to work together to create and implement policies that ultimately lead to sustainable resource management, including through better planning, technological innovation a...
