The FoodAfrica Programme is a four-year research programme coordinated by the Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke) with a budget of 11.8 million euros. The programme aims to 1) strengthen education and research capacity in East and West Africa to improve food security and reduce poverty, 2) produce new scientific evidence to improve nutrition and food security, and 3) enhance cooperation between researchers. It consists of seven work packages focused on issues like soil micronutrients, dairy production, climate change impacts, and market access. The programme involves partners from Finland and six African countries: Benin, Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Senegal, and Uganda.
