  • The IISD provides advisory services to national governments in developing countries to ensure that public and private investments in sustainable agriculture protect land rights, support natural resource management, and enhance food security. These services include legal advice on investment contracts and information on market conditions, specifically regarding voluntary sustainability standards (VSS).
  • In September 2019, the IISD and the International Food Policy Research Institute published a new edition of 'Transforming Agriculture in Africa and Asia: What Are the Policy Options?'. This work includes an analytical framework tracking agricultural economic performance across 117 countries over 45 years, with 15 countries receiving in-depth study of policy evolution from 1970 to 2015.
  • The IISD is working to promote gender equality in agriculture through the dissemination of a guide created with Oxfam titled 'Enabling Voices, Demanding Rights' and an article examining barriers to women's inclusion in contract farming. Additionally, the IISD supports the parliamentary network of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to promote food security and responsible investment.
  • The IISD is developing a policy brief to assist legislators with seed legislation, focusing on international law options, alternatives to the WTO's Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), and the protection of traditional knowledge and farmer-to-farmer seed exchange.
  • Ceres2030 is a joint project between the IISD, the International Food Policy Research Institute, and Cornell University to evaluate the cost of interventions to eradicate hunger. Scheduled for public launch in June 2020 in Berlin, the project will present a cost model for the public investment needed to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2.
