Compared to maize, many of Africa’s indigenous crops are more resilient but have been neglected. Most of those neglected species are much more nutritious than the ones we have now.

Rob Vos of IFPRI warns: “For the foreseeable future, we should expect the price of our food to remain volatile and increasing.”

His new piece in Welternährung explores how global shocks are driving food inflation — and what it means for low-income countries.

Global Trade: Food Prices are Likely to Remain High and Volatile
How do wars, tariff disputes and currency fluctuations affect the international trade in agricultural products? Poor countries suffer disproportionately from inflation risks and food insecurity.
