German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL)
The German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) has launched applications for the Agroecological Innovations for Territorial Markets initiative to support joint research projects between German research institutions and similar institutions in countries of Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia that are strongly affected by hunger and malnutrition.
The funding aims to promote needs-oriented insights and solutions to improve food security, giving particular consideration to quality aspects and drawing on approaches to research that are participatory, practice- and application-oriented, as well as inter- and transdisciplinary. In addition, the aim is to establish and promote long-term scientific networks and partnerships via interregional cooperation and transnational exchange of knowledge. A contribution to local capacity development is a further objective.
