GlobE Global Food Security of the German Ministries BMBF and BMZ GlobE – Global Food Security Initiative of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in cooperation with the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) Total budget: approx. 50 M Euro 08/06/2015 2

GlobE Global Food Security of the German Ministries BMBF and BMZ BMBF funding initiative within the National Research Strategy „ Bioeconomy 2030“ November 2010 started by the German Government: 5 key challenges of Bioeconomy 2030 to transform the oil-based to a biomass-based industry and society:  securing global nutrition  ensuring sustainable agricultural production  producing healthy and safe foods  using renewable resources for industry  developing biomass-based energy 08/06/2015 3

GlobE Global Food Security of the German Ministries BMBF and BMZ Topics of the systemic approach of Food System Topics Objectives Agricultural production / nutrition German-African research networks / health which focus on the food system Soil / water / material flows Identifying and solving central problems related to food systems Reducing of losses along the value Developing regionally adapted research chain solutions Rural and gender-specific Research capacities in Germany and in structures / local solutions Africa Plants / plant breeding Biomass / bioenergy Animals in the system 08/06/2015 4

Innovating Strategies to safeguard Food Security using Technology and Knowledge Transfer: A people-centred Approach 8 M Euro, total Budget 5 Years, total period Participation assures local ownership and thus successful adoption 08/06/2015 7

Definition Food Security  Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life (FAO),  Access, Availability, Utilization, Stability Undernourishment, Malnutrition  Stunting, 1000 days windows of opportunity for reversible effects Sustainable project implementation  Sustaining project success incl. up- and outscaling National Bureau of Statistics and ICF Macro, 2010.

Objective of Trans-SEC Objectives • Improving the food situation for the most- vulnerable rural poor • Identifying and testing successful upgrading strategies along FVC to site-specific, sustainable settings • Implementation and dissemination for national outreach, policy, extension, research 9

Trans-SEC approach Six rules for our action research Characteristic Specification 1 Using existing local knowledge Not to reinvent the wheel 3 Incentive structure fosters scaling Micro-credit innovation funds & up/out of success round table of up-scaling 4 Research as guiding role Tools minimize the risk, Support of decision processes Translation of findings 2 Holistic, system analysis focuses Empiric evidence on requirement on gaps, bottlenecks for success criteria (ScalA) 5 Participation leads to local Cost-efficient in the long term ownership and thus adoption 6 Conflict Prevention and Training, supervision intercultural Management System sensitization 10

Selection of Inventory 52 UPS Natural 1. Rainwater harvesting (tie-ridges, infiltration pits) Resources 2. Fertiliser micro-dosing ( ”d eep fertiliser placement”) Crop 3. Optimised weeding Production 1. Crop byproducts for bioenergy Processing 2. Improved processing (trainings, business models for purchasing machines) Waste 3. Improved on-farm wood supply (tree planting/integration) Management Bioenergy 4. Improved cooking stoves 1. New product development (horizontal and vertical coordination, high value crops, surplus cereals, and livestock products) Markets 2. Optimised crop storage (profitable, market oriented, reducing PH losses) Income 3. Poultry-crop integration (for enhanced rural income and food security) Generation 4. Market access system (m-IMAS, mobile based) 1. Household nutrition education Consumption 2. Kitchen gardens (indigenous fruits and vegetables for dietary diversification 17
