Welcome to AgriFoSe2030!
The AgriFoSe2030 programme targets the UN Sustainable Development Goal 2 - "End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture" in low-income countries. We synthesise and translate existing science into policy and practice, and develop capacity to achieve this.

Sorghum production ignites hope for profitable and climate smart agricultural production in Manzawayo village, South Africa
“Low quality grain.” This echoes some of the prejudices of most large and formal markets whenever agricultural produce from smallholder farms is mentioned. Resultantly, smallholder farmers are often overlooked as equal players in formal markets, leaving them to sell locally at uncompetitive prices or barter trade which sadly perpetuates the poverty cycle.
AgriFoSe2030 project contributes to improve income of agroecological products of agroforestry parklands
In order to increase income from agroecological products from the parklands in Burkian Faso, 12 women were trained in shea butter saponification. They subsequently trained 10 women in soap making on behalf of the women's co-operative called Nongtaaba at Nobéré.
This film entitled “Making laundry and dish soap from shea butter” was produced in the local Moore language as a training material for women trainers.
Livestock management contribute to improved health among small-scale goat herds in Laos.
Smallholder goat farmers in Laos have adopted new goat management practices including approaches to fodder and animal health care. This change is supported by the AgrifoSe2030 project through emphasising knowledge sharing, skills-building, and mentorship. While farmers self-organise into groups to share knowledge, they also receive support from extension service providers.
AgriFoSe2030 project boosts livestock management and environmental conservation
The AgriFoSe2030 project "TRAMAP" has been a successful collaborative effort between pastoralists, agro-pastoralists, scientists, and local authorities in Samburu County, Kenya, and shown promising results to empower agricultural productivity and develop sustainable rangeland management.
