The Global Hunger and Food Security Research Strategy Grant aims to enhance agricultural research in alignment with the Feed the Future initiative. This initiative connects agricultural productivity to key areas such as climate change, nutrition, economic growth, and sustainable resource management. The grant promotes a sustainable intensification approach to stimulate agriculture-driven economic growth, emphasizing the importance of environmentally sustainable methods.
Research efforts should be outcome-focused and closely linked to practical applications through extension services, education, and feedback mechanisms tailored to each country.

1. Development of high-yielding, climate-resilient legumes (focusing on soy and other legumes). 2. Development of climate-resilient cereals. 3. Boosting livestock productivity with an emphasis on climate resilience and disease resistance (covering vaccine development and breeding/genomics). 4. Advancements in small-scale irrigation technologies and agricultural water management. 5. Strategies to reduce post-harvest losses and food waste. 6. Policies aimed at improving food security.
