Let’s partner together to increase food security and sustainability
Agriculture is powered by people – farmers, ranchers, producers, factory and food services workers and many others – each one critical to supporting a safe, reliable and resilient food system. Agriculture is how we nourish the world.
Development of market systems by supporting market actors (farmers, agro-dealers, input suppliers) to develop a continuous supply network of inputs and output products and helps farmers to increase resilience, productivity, and production using climate-smart agriculture (CSA).
The efficient agriculture technology is working toward improvement in crop production that will guarantee food security and sustainable incomes.
Agriculture is the backbone of every country economy. Most farmers in the country are subsistence farmers. However, climate shocks and natural disasters, such as floods, droughts, and cyclones, are exacerbating chronic food insecurity for the population.
To guarantee sustainable investment in the food and agricultural value chain, The farmers need to have been linked to local dealers and encouraged to use improved inputs to satisfy their requirements. Linkages to large input companies have been initiated between the hub and local agro-dealers through simple contracts to input supply. DGRPco
Our responsibility to nourish those who nourish us all is to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, food systems more sustainable, resilient, and equitable.it needs to provide an access to an array of culturally relevant, safe, affordable, and nutritious food. The long-term stability of the global food system is dependent on millions of farmers, ranchers, producers, and food service workers. Together with our partners, we work to support the people who contribute to our food system.
By 2050, it is expected that the world’s population will grow to nearly 9 billion; thus increasing our need for food by more than 100 percent. Currently, 1 in 8 people, or 842 million, struggle with hunger every day. Even more so, roughly 1 billion people in the world are food insecure, meaning they lack access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food. While agriculture has evolved in order to meet these intensely growing food demands, farmers will need to increase food production by 70-100 percent to meet global nutrition needs. DGRPcoWe already know that there is relatively little available land on which to cultivate food. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) projections indicate that 80 percent of the additional food required to meet demand in 2050 will need to come from land already under cultivation. The result is that our farmers and food producers must produce those higher yields using the same (or less) acreage than they use today while relying on fewer natural resources. DGRPco
