BMEL-Call for proposals: "Innovative Sustainable Production Systems"

15 June 2022. BMEL-Call for proposals: "Innovative Sustainable Production Systems"

Research funding for project-consortia consisting of German, Sub-Saharan African, South and Southeast Asian partners on the topic: "Innovative and sustainable agricultural production systems"

With the title "Innovative Sustainable Production Systems", the BMEL published the fourth call for proposals within the funding instrument "International Research Cooperation for Global Food Security".

The research call is directed at collaborations between German agricultural and nutrition research institutions and those in countries and regions that are severely affected by hunger and malnutrition.

In the light of a holistic approach to food systems, the focus of the call is on innovative agricultural production systems in Sub-Saharan Africa and South and Southeast Asia, which are adapted to the target groups and their natural environments. The demand-oriented results and solutions are expected to contribute to improved nutrition of the local population and to a sustainable use of natural resources.

The research projects should pursue a holistic, inter- and transdisciplinary multi-actor approach and work on practicable, transferable and sustainable solutions in the existing environment.

Short Proposals may be submitted until Wednesday, August 31, 2022, by midnight.

The project executing agency is the Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (BLE). Only consortia consisting of at least one German research institution and at least one research institution from Sub-Saharan Africa and/or South or Southeast Asia are eligible for funding. Further information on the funding criteria as well as on the content and submission of a short project proposal are available in the call for proposals.
