Securing the global food supply is a central aim of the “GlobE - Global Food Security” funding measure within the German BioEconomy 2030 Research Strategy. In many countries growing competition for food crop land and fluctuating markets are putting pressure on existing food supply systems. In addition, the effects of climate change are also reducing the amount of agricultural land available. This affects in particular sub -Saharan African countries in which the food situation is already unstable.

Linking Farmers to research or farmer’s led research?Francois Stepman
The presentation was made at the 1st African Continental Policy Briefing. Envisioning the future of African agriculture and the renewed role of farmer’s organizations. 3-5 December 2013, Yaoundé, Cameroun.
This conference was organized by The Panafrican Farmer’s Organisations (PAFO), the ACP-EU Technical Center for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA) and the African Union Commission (AUC).
It presents the main project funded by the European Commission on Linking Farmers to research. More in particular on the User's led process initiated by PAEPARD. The Regional Farmer Organisations have identified priority research topics:
EAFF: Research & Development Questions relating to a Livestock Strategy for Eastern Africa.
PROPAC: Research & Development Questions relating to the vegetable sector in Central Africa
ROPPA: Climate change adaptation technologies on rice production
FANRPAN/SACAU: Research & Development Questions relating to the groundnut value chain in Zambia and Malawi
COLEACP: Research & Development Questions Adding value to Mango non-food uses in West Africa (Burkina-Faso, Ivory-cost, Senegal)
Multi stakeholder consortia are being created around those research topics to enable those consortia to submit research proposals under future Calls (funding opportunities)

From 7 billion people needing to be
fed today…
… to 9 billion by 2050
Population growth concentrated in
the South, in large cities
Three means of meeting this
challenge:
Producing more and better, on
limited areas
Changing food habits (waste and
diet)
Facilitating market access, reducing
price volatility

To ensure sustainable and equitable food security… (FAO 2010)
• Producing food that is affordable, safe, nutritionally adequate for health,
and culturally satisfactory
• While protecting biodiversity and ecosystems and optimizing the use of
natural resources…
• Creating jobs, generating income and promoting rural development
… in the context of multiple transitions
• Growing world population
• Food and nutritional transitions
• Dwindling natural resources
• Increasing energy prices and decreasing availability of fossil carbon
