Avinash Kishore

I am a Senior Research Fellow in the New Delhi Office of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). My research focuses on understanding how public policies and markets affect the adoption [and non-adoption] of sustainable technologies and practices in agriculture (e.g., solar pumps, soil health cards, soil micro-nutrients, improved seeds) in South Asia. I am also interested in understanding the impact of India's food policies and large food safety-net programs on farmers and consumers.

I lead research projects on understanding food systems in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal and the policy research component of the Cereals Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA)—a program implemented jointly by CIMMYT, IFPRI, and IRRI.

I received my PhD in Public Policy from Harvard University in 2012. I am a founding board member of research institute for compassionate economics (r.i.c.e.)
