Key initiatives include a food security research programme; a Sustainable Agriculture and Food Innovation Platform to fund research and development in areas like crop productivity, livestock production, waste, and greenhouse gases; more research for developing countries’ agriculture; research looking at our ability to feed the future world population, an Advanced Training Partnership to provide more masters, doctorates and continuous professional development and the development of indicators to monitor all this. It is important to acknowledge the complexity of the industry when developing effective solutions to translate research into practice.
