Ethiopia is classified as a low-income country, with 31% of the population living under the international poverty line of US$1.90 per day. However, changes in the country's economy and demography have gone through major changes, with a doubling of the urban population and a fall in rural poverty rates from 45% in 2000 to 23% in 2016. Despite these changes, most of the country’s population lives in rural areas (78%). There is a high reliance of the rural population on agriculture for their livelihoods, and the agricultural sector, while it has grown and contributed to the country’s growing economy, remains subsistence-based. Nevertheless, the country faces challenges across its food systems related to agricultural productivity, access to and costs of healthy diets, and more.
