The Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organisation (KALRO) announces the First Socio-Economics and Policy Development (SEPD) Conference. Research in KALRO SEPD sheds light on trends and drivers of change that shape food systems, guiding informed decision-making to enhance productivity, resilience, and sustainability for improved livelihoods. The conference is organized in collaboration with partners and stakeholders in the agricultural sector. It provides a platform for experts and practitioners in various fields to explore, share, and exchange experiences in building resilience and transforming the agri-food systems.
Present agri-food systems are not sustainable. Chronic hunger and malnutrition remain high and have increased recently due to several overlapping crises.
Profound system transformations are required for agri-food systems to contribute more effectively to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs align with Kenya’s Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).
