About Our Research Strategy Refresh
FFAR is refreshing our research strategy to remain current and ensure our research investments meet stakeholder needs.
We are assessing the state of food and agriculture to identify where research investments can best address major challenges today and tomorrow.
We welcome comments from a wide range of stakeholders to help us develop a comprehensive understanding of current and emerging food and agriculture research needs. Using an analytical approach, we will then develop an evidence-based research framework informed by analyses, gaps assessments and forecasting. FFAR aims to provide a research framework that clearly aligns with industry, farmer and consumer needs.
FFAR is eager to hear from the food and agriculture community about where additional research investment is needed.
We anticipate completing the Research Strategy Refresh in Summer 2023.
