Agri-Innovation & Impact Project (AGRIIP)
10 Years. 10 Million Farmers. 10,000 Scientists. One Bold Vision for Africa’s Food Future.
Science, Culture & Farmer Power!
AGRIIP is a bold 10-year initiative to lift 10 million smallholder farmers out of extreme poverty by equipping 10,000 African scientists to co-create climate-resilient innovations. Together, we’re safeguarding 30 indigenous crops, sparking 1,000 ventures, and building a climate-resilient, food-secure future rooted in Africa’s cultural heritage and resilience. Through its work, AGRIIP contributes directly to key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including No Poverty, Zero Hunger, Climate Action, Decent Work & Economic Growth, and Reduced Inequalities, while re-imagining African agriculture as a driver of prosperity, sustainability, and community flourishing.
