Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa
Call for a Transformational Process in the face of Climate Change
in Sub Saharan Agriculture
Agreed criteria for collaborativeCGIAR-ESSP research
(from the Oxford w/s, Feb 2007)
Jointly recognised as a priority research programme by both science communities and relevant to stakeholders (researchers, farmers, resource managers, donors, policy makers, etc…).
Addresses key knowledge gaps related to food security, sustainability and development.
Requires active, large-scale institutional collaboration between the two science communities combining social and natural systems, at multiple scales of time/space.
Maximises the chance for success in delivering solutions to climate change adaptation and mitigation for agriculture and food security that are based on innovative science outputs.
