Trade Policy and Food and Nutrition Security in an Era of Climate Change (English)

This report emphasizes the continuous critical importance of international trade and integration in international markets for FNS. The report finds that in the long term, if governments shift toward more inward-looking trade policies, trade could become more fragmented, food less affordable, and prices more volatile, slowing much-needed food system transformation. Food self-sufficiency policies have not worked in the past and they are likely not work in the future even with more uncertain and volatile world markets.
