2020 GAP Report to launch next week
 

CIRED is pleased to share the announcement of the 2020 Global Agricultural Productivity Report (GAP Report) Launch on Monday, October 12 at 9:00 a.m. EDT. This year marks the 11th year of publication and second year at Virginia Tech. Titled “Agricultural Productivity in a Time of Pandemics,” the report explores the impact of disease and pest outbreaks on agricultural productivity, food security and nutrition, livelihoods, and environmental sustainability.

Jessica Agnew, CIRED’s Assistant Director of Research, Operations, & Program Management, has an article in the report, “Markets for Nutritious Foods – What role for the agricultural sector in market-based approaches to nutrition in Mozambique?”

We hope that you will join us and others around the world for this unique event. Along with the World Food Prize and Borlaug Dialogue, this year’s launch will be a virtual event. Please register at globalagriculturalproductivity.org.

The launch event will be available not only in English, but also in French, Hindi, Kiswahili, and Spanish. Each of these videos will broadcast at the same time (October 12, 9:00 a.m. EDT) and location (globalagriculturalproductivity.org). The video, in all languages, will also be available on-demand following the initial broadcast at the website. The GAP Report Executive Summary will also be available in English on the website at the time of the launch.
