Agriculture & Food Security
From Field to Fork
The agricultural sector is, generally, the largest economic sector of a developing nation, upon which many livelihoods directly or indirectly depend. Sustainable agricultural practices contribute to food and nutrition security of the most vulnerable groups of a population, providing them with healthy, nutritious agricultural produce from their own fields.
Our expertise covers
We work with local partners to strategically guide and implement your project activities in the field of sustainable agricultural practices covering a range of important components.
Value Chain Development
An inclusive value chain approach, including small-scale farmers, supports economic development from the root to the market.
Agro-Biodiversity
We know bees do not only produce honey. Agricultural systems rely on rich biodiversity that our approaches aim to enhance.
Nutrition
Healthy nutrition is the basis for a healthy society. We start with the cultivation of all necessary nutrients in the field.
Irrigation
No water, no life - not all areas can be rain-fed. We analyze where which irrigation system is the most suitable and long-lasting. Further, we account for social challenges that might occur while distributing this valuable resource.
Ecosystem Service
All agricultural produce depends on the services of an ecosystem, beyond the agricultural plot. Our approaches ensure that the ecosystem remains in balance to provide its services for all generations to come.
Resilience
Climate change affects agriculture especially severe. Building resilience for the current and projected future climate is an essential part of agricultural planning.
