PARI research focuses on identifying and scaling promising agricultural innovations for agricultural growth and food security in Africa and India.
This paper highlights the need to design nutrition-sensitive lockdown strategies, which are effective from an epidemiological perspective but minimize trade-offs with food and nutrition security.
This paper explores how five African countries maneuvered around the potentially large tradeoffs between public health and food security when designing their policy responses to the first wave of COVID-19.
This paper explores perceived agronomic, environmental, and socioeconomic effects of farm mechanization, thereby revealing linkages and trade-offs.

This brief presents the result of a rapid assessment on how the containment measures have affected the performance of the Kenyan food and beverage manufacturing industry and what measure companies need to support them during the pandemic.
This is the first paper that explores agronomic, environmental and socioeconomic effects together, thereby revealing linkages and trade- offs, some of which have been hitherto unknown.
