PRACTICE
The Food Security Practice
Food security is an imperative if Africa is to achieve shared prosperity and improved livelihoods.
We collaborate with African governments at different levels to put into action data-driven strategies that enhance food security and nutrition resilience while uplifting the general quality of life.
Our efforts revolve around boosting productivity and income for rural smallholder farmers, by promoting climate-resilient and sustainable farming methods.
We are taking intersectoral and intersectional approaches to address food and nutrition security.
