Multi-stakeholder approach to agricultural development.
To feed the world for the decades to come, significant adjustments to our agricultural production systems are essential. Just increasing production will not be sufficient. Global challenges of climate change, environmental degradation, scarcity of inputs, and increasing demands for safe food present a sharp call to agricultural practice to become more sustainable. Private, civil and public stakeholders have to cope with this change of focus in development, which is often referred to as ‘3P’: People, Planet and Profit.
An integral redirection of current agricultural practices is therefore required to
go beyond just incremental change. Innovation that addresses ecological, social, as well as economic sustainability aspects requires involvement of multiple stakeholders, going beyond a strictly technical approach. It stresses interactive learning and exchange of knowledge between all stakeholders, including farmers and entrepreneurs.
