The Agriculture for Food Security 2030 programme, AgriFoSe2030, has now published its annual report for 2019. The programme synthesize and translate existing science into policy and practice, and develop capacity to achieve this.

The Agriculture for Food Security 2030 Programme (AgriFoSe2030) aims to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goal 2 – Zero Hunger. The programme-wide objective is ‘to transform small-scale systems with development potential from subsistence households to more commercial agricultural companies in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), South and Southeast (SE) Asia so that they can respond sustainably to the growing needs for food security and local economic growth’.

The final year of AgriFoSe2030 phase 1

– Last year, 2019, was a very intense year, being the final year of AgriFoSe2030 phase 1, says Associate Professor Sofia Boqvist, Director of the AgriFoSe2030 Programme.

The AgriFoSe2030 team has continued to build on and advance the niche of the programme – supporting synthesis of knowledge, capacity development of researchers in our target regions as well as genuine engagement with target stakeholders, all through a science-based approach.

– During 2019 we have also, in a collaborative programme fashion, developed a proposal for a second AgriFoSe2030 programme phase. The proposal has been submitted to our donor Sida for their consideration, and we very much hope for their continued support for the period 2020-2023, says Sofia Boqvist.
