8.1a Which interventions and technologies (such as climate resilient crops, livestock health treatments, vaccines and agronomic practices) enable us to boost productivity and tackle food insecurity in a changing climate, whilst protecting nature?

Background

Food and agriculture research are central to the UK’s modern approach to development to create a world free from poverty and hunger on a liveable planet. We will harness UK and international science expertise and development leadership to prevent hunger and malnutrition crises, and make food systems more productive, resilient and sustainable. We will generate evidence and solutions to support the transition of food systems which underpin UK ambitions on climate and nature, growth and development outcomes.
