Forging transformative pathways for food security – Challenges and opportunities in a changing development cooperation landscape

Venue: (on-site at SLU campus; and online)

Date: 24 September 2025

Time: 10:30 -12:00

Innovation and its implementation in evolving development cooperation frameworks plays a critical role within development cooperation frameworks. Global food security faces unprecedented challenges, demanding transformative approaches to build sustainable and resilient food systems. Achieving SDG 2 necessitates integrated, context-specific interventions and policies, where scientists play a pivotal role in empowering smallholder farmers.

Drawing on the experience of the Agriculture for Food Security 2030 (AgriFoSe2030) program), funded by Sida, this session reflects on:

  • fostering collaboration between Swedish and Sub-Saharan African scientists to translate knowledge into impactful policy and practice.
  • AgriFoSe2030’s theory of change methodology that emphasized multi-stakeholder engagement, problem co-identification, and knowledge contextualization.

Leaders from three regional AgriFoSe2030 hubs in Kenya, Uganda and Zimbabwe will share lessons learned in facilitating cross- and transdisciplinary collaborations that have yielded tangible change. They will also reflect on the preconditions for future collaborations in light of shifting funding landscapes and evolving development models.
