CALL FOR RESEARCH GRANT PROPOSALS UNDER THE SUPPORT TO REGIONAL MULTI-ACTOR RESEARCH NETWORK (RMRN) PROJECT – RUFORUM BLOG Regional Universities Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture (RUFORUM) Sponsorship Opportunities Regional Universities Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture (RUFORUM) CALL FOR RESEARCH GRANT PROPOSALS UNDER THE SUPPORT TO REGIONAL MULTI-ACTOR RESEARCH NETWORK (RMRN) PROJECT Africa , News , Sponsorship Opportunities , Upcoming Events Agroecology has emerged as a critical and transformative approach for addressing Africa’s persistent food and nutrition security challenges while simultaneously safeguarding environmental sustainability, biodiversity, and climate resilience.
Across Sub-Saharan Africa, food systems are increasingly under pressure from climate variability, land degradation, declining soil fertility, loss of biodiversity, and socio-economic inequalities that disproportionately affect smallholder farmers, women, and youth.
Conventional agricultural approaches have often struggled to respond adequately to these complex and interconnected challenges, highlighting the need for more holistic, inclusive, and sustainable food system solutions. Agroecology offers such a pathway by integrating ecological principles, local knowledge, and socio-economic considerations into agricultural production and food system transformation.
By promoting biodiversity, improving soil health, strengthening resilience, enhancing resource recycling, and fostering synergies within farming systems, agroecology contributes not only to increased and more stable productivity but also to improved livelihoods, nutrition outcomes, and environmental integrity.
Importantly, agroecology emphasizes co-creation and sharing of knowledge among farmers, researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders, making it particularly relevant for Africa’s diverse agro-ecological and socio-cultural contexts. Despite growing evidence of the benefits of agroecology, its systematic integration into national agricultural policies, investment plans, and development strategies across Africa remains limited.
This gap is often attributed to weak science-policy interfaces, insufficient policy-relevant evidence, and limited platforms for dialogue between researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers. As a result, agroecology is frequently under-represented in public investment frameworks and national agricultural development agendas, constraining its scaling and wider adoption.
Under the NDICI AFRICA/2023/447-700 programme , the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA), in collaboration with the Regional Universities Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture (RUFORUM), is implementing a set of coordinated actions aimed at addressing these gaps.
The programme seeks to strengthen science–policy interfaces, support advocacy efforts, and enhance evidence-based decision-making to ensure that agroecology becomes an integral component of national and regional agricultural and food system strategies in Sub-Saharan Africa.
By leveraging FARA’s continental science agenda and RUFORUM’s extensive network of universities, researchers, and Regional Multi-stakeholder Research Networks (RMRNs) and Regional Centres of Excellence for agroecology (RCoEs), the programme creates a platform for sustained engagement between science, policy, and practice.
A key element of this initiative is the provision of targeted financial support to selected researchers and scientists to generate applied, policy-relevant agroecology research outputs. This support is intended to enable the production of decision-support information, policy-oriented studies, and knowledge products that respond directly to the needs of policymakers, practitioners, and advocacy actors.
The supported research will contribute to raising awareness, strengthening advocacy, and informing the integration of agroecology principles and practices into national agricultural investment plans, sector policies, and development programmes.
Through this approach, the programme aims to amplify African-led research and innovation in agroecology, strengthen the role of researchers as contributors to policy processes, and support evidence-based advocacy for sustainable, inclusive, and resilient food systems.
Ultimately, these efforts will contribute to advancing agroecology as a recognized and prioritized pathway for achieving food security, environmental sustainability, and socio-economic development across the continent. 2.
