This study maps how Swedish aid to agriculture was distributed in the period 2005 to 2020. It identifies existing trends in terms of amounts and target countries, and the character and classification of Swedish aid to agriculture, as well as how Swedish trends compare with trends in international aid to agriculture.
Swedish development aid is focused on supporting poverty alleviation and sustainable development in low-income countries. Agricultural development is one of the most powerful tools for ending extreme poverty, boosting shared prosperity and feeding a projected 9.7 billion people by 2050. Support for agricultural development in the Global South is crucial to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as part of the 2030 Agenda, and in particular SDG 1 on ending poverty and SDG 2 on zero hunger. Sweden has provided aid to the agriculture sector since the 1960s but there have been few overviews of Sweden’s global agriculture support.
This study maps how Swedish aid to agriculture was distributed in the period 2005 to 2020. It identifies existing trends in terms of amounts and target countries, and the character and classification of Swedish aid to agriculture, as well as whether such trends follow international development and agricultural aid support trends.
The study focuses on five research questions:
Project / AgroMixNorth offers springboards for resilient cropping systems that provide nutritious food and income to farmers while increasing below-ground carbon storage.
Past event / Understanding trade-offs and synergies is key for SDG implementation. Discover ongoing research and examples from Japan, Finland, and Sweden about them.
