Research Domain: Agro-Food

Focal point for excellent research and education focusing on an improved understanding of how frugal innovation can contribute to resolving complex agro-food challenges

One of the focus areas of ICFI is the agro-food sector. In this domain many global challenges are intertwined, ranging from food insecurity, poverty, and inequality to unsustainable consumption patterns and climate change. ICFI believes that frugal innovation has the potential to contribute towards alleviating these urgent, complex and intertwined challenges. The ICFI agro-food domain therefore aims to be a focal point for excellent research and education focusing on an improved understanding of how frugal innovation can contribute to resolving complex agro-food challenges. We will do this by bringing together expertise within our global network  – academics as well as policy-oriented and practice-oriented partners.
