Agricultural research is essential to achieve the transformative change in productivity and dietary diversity needed to meet rising global demand for nutritious and safe food for the poor and food insecure.
To achieve development outcomes, it is critical that funding for agricultural research is coordinated on an international level, linked with development processes and driven by farmers’ needs. It should provide programmatic support to all elements of the research and development value chain, including education, extension and advisory services.
Toward this end, the Platform offers a medium for knowledge sharing and collaboration between members on selected activities to advance the agricultural research for development agenda. It provides a forum in which Platform members and partners can identify and build synergies between the agricultural research and rural development practices of development partners around the world.
