Agriculture for food security 2030
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.
The programme contributes to sustainable intensification of agriculture, increased market access for smallholders and strengthen the role of women and youth.
