The Future of Global Agriculture: Perspectives from the International Fund for Agricultural Development

The relationship between food security and agriculture is at once both apparent and complex, especially in matters of climate-related impacts. Around the world, people and families are struggling with high food prices and uncertainty about how they will reliably obtain healthy foods. According to the 2025 State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report, 2.6 billion people in the world could not afford a healthy diet. One key recommendation to address future food price spikes is to invest in resilient agrifood systems, including agriculture. On this episode of Voices to End Hunger, host Minerva Delgado speaks with Brooke Jamison, Chief of the Americas Liaison Office for the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). Together, they discuss the intersection of agriculture and food security, recent advances in agricultural development, and the unique approach and investments that IFAD has found to positively impact farmers and communities around the world.
