The webinar also highlighted the global estimates for funding over the past 10 years in research and innovation for agricultural systems in the Global South, as well as more detailed estimates for the patterns of innovation funding in specific contexts and environments, which will be discussed. The webinar:
- reviewed the recent flows of global public and private investment in agricultural innovation relevant to the Global South;
- showcased the various types of investments made; and
- estimated how much of this investment actually promotes sustainable agriculture intensification.
- Vijay Rangarajan, Director General, Americas and Overseas Territories, UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO)
- Ruben Echeverria, Chair, Commission on Sustainable Agriculture Intensification (CoSAI)
- Vara Prasad, Director, SAI Innovation Lab
- Mauricio Lopes, Senior Researcher, the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa Agroenergia)
- Uduak Edem Igbeka, Country Support Manager, Scaling Up Nutrition Business Network (SBN)
- Sara Mbago-Bhunu, Director, East and Southern Africa Division, International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD)
This study will provide a global baseline for investment, categorize this by types of funder, implementer and topic, and estimate how much of this funding currently aims to promote the multiple economic, environmental and social objectives of sustainable agricultural intensification (SAI). Carried out by Dalberg Advisors (India) on behalf of CoSAI, it will produce global estimates for funding over the past 10 years in research and innovation for agricultural systems in the Global South, as well as more detailed estimates for the patterns of innovation funding in specific contexts and environments. The study aims to:
- Review the recent flows of global public and private investment in agricultural innovation relevant to the Global South.
- Develop a typology of the investments made.
- Estimate how much of this investment promotes SAI.
The study will include a global study and several case studies: Brazil, India, Kenya.
Transforming agricultural
innovation - webinar series
the UK—as part of its COP26 Presidency—engaged a new campaign ‘Transforming Agricultural
Innovation for People, Nature and Climate’ to catalyse a step change
in agricultural innovation. This component of the COP26 Nature Campaign is
co-chaired by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth &
Development Office (FCDO) and the CGIAR Research Program on Climate
Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS).
