PARI research focuses on identifying and scaling promising agricultural innovations for agricultural growth and food security in Africa and India.
Given that the agriculture sector remains the most important economic sector in the region, policies that support its development and increase the human capacities of rural youth can significantly improve employment opportunities and quality.
The dossiers provide background information on the innovation environment, most relevant value chains and related innovations, and collaboration opportunities for 12 African countries with Green Innovation Centres.
This policy brief analyses which governance challenges must be addressed to make mechanization economically, socially and environmentally sustainable.
The crop model SIMPLACE was used in this study and it was tested against FAO statistics to evaluate the model performance under the current management conditions with traditional cultivars and average nitrogen application rates.
PARI Poster presenting various African innovators
The IPAbP aims at aggregating information about all agricultural innovation platforms in Africa to foster linkages with other agricultural innovation organizations, donors and development partners.
This policy brief discusses how to match innovations with human and ecological potential within and outside the agriculture sector
The eAtlas offer access to high quality and highly disaggregated data on agricultural, socio-economic, and bio-physical indicators in Africa.
The studies provide an overview of the status of agricultural innovations, innovation platforms and innovation investment in 12 African countries.
The report presents the results of three systematic reviews: one on the use of biophysical modelling, the second and third on the use of bio-economic modelling at farm scale and agro-economic modelling at higher aggregation levels.
This report presents rural typologies of micro-regions for 12 African countries with Green Innovation Centres to identify micro-regional level opportunities, bottlenecks and investment gaps for agricultural development
The policy brief reviews the evolving context of agriculture and food security in Africa, synthesises related policies, strategies and collaborations of African countries, and identifies innovation initiatives to tap potentials in Africa.
