About CoRE-SFS 

Food system challenges, including food insecurity, malnutrition, and poverty, persist in Africa. In 2023, the African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA) and The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities (The Guild) launched 17 research clusters to foster collaborative research across Africa and Europe. Each Africa-
Europe Cluster of Research Excellence (CoRE) pairs researchers from at least three African and two European universities to tackle major scientific issues through research and education. 

One of these clusters, the Africa-Europe Cluster of Research Excellence in Sustainable Food Systems (CoRE-SFS), is co-led by the University of Pretoria and the University of Bologna. This global platform includes 22 partners from across Africa and Europe collaborating on challenge-driven, integrated, and engaged research, focusing on sustainable food systems.
