Challenge 1: Improving access to safe and nutritious food
This challenge will focus on how poor households can have better access to safe and nutritious food. This includes food loss in the various stages of production, aspects of food safety and how to connect smallholder farmers to markets. -
Challenge 2: Agricultural productivity and ecosystem functions
Balancing increased agricultural productivity with ecosystem sustainability is key. This challenge supports dialogue between scientists, practitioners, and policymakers to boost smallholder incomes while preserving vital ecosystem services. -
Challenge 3: Science-based innovation and extension
A well-developed science and knowledge-based extension service is crucial for improving smallholder productivity and profitability in a sustainable way. -
Challenge 4: Smallholder agriculture within transforming food systems
Rapid urbanisation offers market opportunities for smallholders. To ensure inclusive participation, policies must address existing barriers. Challenge 4 aims to translate scientific evidence into policy to support smallholder engagement in evolving urban food systems.
