Achieving sustainable agriculture requires intensified, continuous research, prioritising locally relevant crops, stewardship techniques, and adaptation to climate change.

• Conduct agronomic research on issues of water, soil fertility, post-harvest losses,  climate change, and alternative uses for by-products.
• Conduct research into crop varieties needed by the poorest and most vulnerable regions.
• Promote farmer-centred research in accordance with their needs.
• Improved productivity through the responsible use of science and technology.
• Establish public-private research collaboration around integrated solutions.
• Increase investments from governments and business toward relevant R&D.
• Investigate alternative uses for agriculture-based by-products along the value chain.
