This document summarizes a speech given by Shenggen Fan on food policy and the global food system. It notes that while economic recovery is occurring globally, inequality is rising. Food production is strong but food prices are declining. Global hunger is increasing due to conflicts and climate change. Anti-globalization sentiments may create further uncertainties for food policy. The speech addresses how open trade, international investment, migration, open data and knowledge sharing can benefit food security but also notes the challenges they may pose. It concludes that addressing changes in the global system through cooperation and evidence-based policy is important for progress.

IFPRI's flagship report reviews the major food policy issues, developments, and decisions of 2017, and highlights challenges and opportunities for 2018 at the global and regional levels. This year's report looks at the impacts of greater global integration—including the movement of goods, investment, people, and knowledge—and the threat of current antiglobalization pressures. Drawing on recent research, IFPRI researchers and other distinguished food policy experts consider a range of timely topics:
■ How can the global food system deliver food security for all in the face of the radical changes taking place today?
■ What is the role of trade in improving food security, nutrition, and sustainability?
■ How can international investment best contribute to local food security and better food systems in developing countries?
■ Do voluntary and involuntary migration increase or decrease food security in source countries and host countries?
■ What opportunities does greater data availability open up for improving agriculture and food security?
■ How does reform of developed-country farm support policies affect global food security?
■ How can global governance structures better address problems of food security and nutrition?
■ What major trends and events affected food security and nutrition across the globe in 2017?
The 2018 Global Food Policy Report also presents data tables and visualizations for several key food policy indicators, including country-level data on hunger, agricultural spending and research investment, and projections for future agricultural production and consumption. In addition to illustrative figures, tables, and a timeline of food policy events in 2017, the report includes the results of a global opinion poll on globalization and the current state of food policy.

Open trade can contribute to
• Food security
• Improving nutrition through diversification of
food baskets, producers, and suppliers
• Reducing natural resource use and
environmental impact
Design targeted policies in human capital,
resource management, and education to
address trade-related challenges and
externalities

• Increases production, improves value
chains, develops infrastructure, etc.
Agribusiness investments benefit
local food security
Promote public-private

Voluntary migration can improve food security
for migrants and families
• Increases incomes and reduces pressure on
natural resources
• But migration involves upfront costs that can
exclude the poor
Integration of refugees into economies is
important for food security among refugees and
local communities

OPEN ACCESS KNOWLEDGE AND DATA
drive improved performance in food systems
Accessible data is critical for decision making in
food systems, especially for nutrition
Open data can enhance accountability of all actors
in food systems, including government
Data quality and ease of use are essential for open
access to succeed
Enhance knowledge transfer efficiency, and
empower citizens through capacity building
Adapt data platforms to facilitate information
privacy and responsible management of data
8. Shenggen Fan, June 2018
ADDRESSING RADICAL CHANGES
is central for progress in the global food system
Encourage an open, efficient, and fair trading system
Support rural development to break the vicious cycle of conflict,
food insecurity, and migration
Invest more in research and innovation for food systems
Promote cooperation and mutual learning
Leverage new opportunities in emerging technologies and
knowledge-sharing
Enhance evidence-based policy making, maximizing the
benefits while minimizing the risks of globalization

Economic recovery
• Significant upturns in energy and metals

• Resumed growth in Russia, a key regional
trading partner
• Appreciation of the Ruble contributed to
increased remittance flows from Russia
Poverty reduction and improved food

Looking forward to 2018
Opportunities are ahead
• Continued prioritization of diversification and shift from cotton production to
horticulture in Uzbekistan
• Uzbek public support strategy to create jobs, improve market infrastructure, and
improve food safety standards
• Favorable economic growth prospects, supported by rising commodity prices
• Positive impact of regional trade, investments, and remittances on household
welfare and food security
Nevertheless challenges remain
• Risk of slow recovery in Russia due to expanded Western sanctions
• Remaining challenges in financial sector and limited employment opportunities
may have negative impact on poverty reduction and food security
