GFAR is seeking new ways to spread the value of agricultural research and innovation.
In order to share your stories about how agricultural knowledge and innovation are helping to address major development challenges and make a real difference in the lives of the poor, they collaborate with the New Agriculturist, a widely read and well recognized online journal.
Through publication in New Agriculturist, a wider awareness of your work can be raised and your knowledge shared with thousands of readers.
The aim is to find stories that show how you are transforming and strengthening agricultural research for development systems as highlighted in the GCARD Roadmap and how your work is helping achieve developmental change in increasing environmental resilience, in benefiting people’s lives and livelihoods or enhancing food and nutrition security, whether by improving foresight and prioritization, improving partnership, enhancing capacities, increasing investments, or by better linking research and innovation into development processes.
GFAR is contributing 3 articles in each edition. These articles will be displayed on the front page of New Agriculturist.
The topic for the January edition is Ecosystems Services and GFAR is seeking stories and projects from around the world on the theme, whether at local, national, regional or international scale.
