Highlights of IFPRI's Impact Around the World
In China, IFPRI’s research provided evidence of the returns on different types of public expenditures — showing the relatively large impact of investment in rural roads, agricultural research, and education in rural areas. Changes in government spending priorities later reflected IFPRI’s findings. China’s increased investment in agricultural R&D alone helped nearly 6 million people rise out of poverty by 2007.
