FSNET-AFRICA STATS

Working with early-career researchers in six African countries, we build capacity for African-focused food systems research and develop long-term partnerships for research that span across sector and geography.

The FSNet-Africa project is led by three institutions – the University of Pretoria (UP) , the University of Leeds (UoL) and the Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources Policy Analysis Network (FANRPAN).

FSNet-Africa is a Research Excellence Project funded by the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) under the partnership between the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA).
