8.1c What works in accelerating inclusive, clean growth and jobs (particularly for women and marginalised groups), ensuring that commercial agriculture and food solutions contribute both to economic growth and security? What barriers exist in different contexts, what tailored interventions are needed and how might these impact aspirations for migration? How can we catalyse finance and business models to scale productivity-enhancing agriculture solutions for vulnerable households?
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.
