AgriFoSe2030

Welcome to AgriFoSe2030!

AgriFoSe2030, Agriculture for Food Security, contributes to sustainable intensification of agriculture for increased food production on existing agricultural land; the aim is to do so by transforming practices toward more efficient use of human, financial and natural resources.

During autumn 2020 the second phase of AgriFoSe2030 will start. The second phase is a continuation of the first one, but developed based on new knowledge and experiences. On these webpages, you will soon get more information about AgriFoSe2030 phase two.

Science-based policy and practice to end hunger and promote sustainable agriculture

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 small-holders and strengthen the role of women and youth.
