Current Research Projects
Program of Accompanying Research for Agricultural Innovation (PARI) (2014-2022)
PARI aims to contribute to sustainable agricultural growth and food and nutrition security in Africa and India as part of the One World, No Hunger Initiative (SEWOH) by the German government. PARI accompanies development efforts with research on the potential and challenges of different agricultural innovations and with research on how to strengthen the framework conditions for the generation and dissemination of promising innovations. The division 490C leads PARI’s research activities on agricultural mechanization and researches livestock development, agrochemical use, and digital agriculture in several African countries and India.
