Food Tank Webinar: Research for Resilience: How Farmer Centered Research Powers Ecological Solutions

How do you increase food security in some of the most chronically malnourished places around the world? One part of the answer is to tap into the undervalued wisdom of local farmers and the underestimated power of ecological solutions. Since the early 1980s, The McKnight Foundation has funded agricultural research around the globe with the goal to help farmers feed their families and communities. McKnight’s Collaborative Crop Research Program (CCRP) funds collaborative research between smallholder farmers, leading local researchers, and development practitioners to explore solutions for sustainable, local food systems. CCRP focuses its support in twelve countries on two continents where poverty and food insecurity have created “hunger hot spots.” http://foodtank.com/events/2017/01/31/food-tank-webinar-series-jane-maland-cady
