Case Study: International Food Policy Research Institute achieves greater reach and engagement with Vimeo

How a food policy nonprofit uses live video to support its mission

The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), a global nonprofit focused on research-based policies to reduce poverty and malnutrition, needed a reliable way to share its work with a worldwide audience. Its previous live streaming setup was limited to one destination and even failed during a high-stakes broadcast, creating stress and risking its professional reputation. IFPRI turned to Vimeo’s live streaming tools to improve the quality and reach of its policy seminars.

Vimeo implemented simulcasting so IFPRI could stream weekly seminars to both its website and Facebook page, backed by responsive customer support. The impact was immediate: IFPRI’s live seminars now draw more than 2,000 views per week on Facebook alone, while the organization reports smoother, more professional broadcasts and greater flexibility to expand its live strategy.
