Abstract
Prospects for a food-secure world will remain bleak if the global community continues with business as usual. However, with foresight and decisive action to improve both availability of food and access to food, global food security can be assured. IFPRI's 2020 Vision initiative has identified six priority areas of action: (i) strengthen the capacity of developing-country governments; (ii) invest in the productivity of low-income people; (iii) strengthen agricultural research and extension systems; (iv) promote sustainable agricultural intensification with sound management of natural resources; (v) develop efficient, effective and low-cost agricultural markets; and (vi) expand international cooperation and assistance, and improve its efficiency and effectiveness.
