IDRC’s Canadian International Food Security Research Fund works to share knowledge, research, and practical approaches to food security. Through the research we fund, we hope to improve livelihoods, help alleviate poverty, and significantly improve the lives and livelihoods of the world’s poor.
 
In doing so, we have news to share—press releases, announcements, information, and events. This is where you’ll find it.

If you wish to receive updates and information about funding opportunities directly, please subscribe to CIFSRF’s email distribution list.
