​

Götz Uckert as Coordinator of the new ZALF project STEP-UP and Stefan Sieber as SusLAND work group leader participated the kick-off meeting.

STEP-UP will increase food security through equitable commercial relationships between markets within the frame of sustainable agricultural production.

STEP-UP is coordinated by ZALF and will support smallholder producers to access relevant technologies, innovations and management practices for the transition to commercialized production. LEAP-Agri (http://www.leap-agri.com/) is a partnership between 30 partners including 24 funding organisations from nine African countries (i.e. Algeria, Burkina Faso, Cameroun, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Senegal, South Africa and Uganda), nine European countries (i.e. Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Nederland, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Turkey) and an international organization (i.e. CIHEAM-Bari based in Italy).

This partnership operates under the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation Horizon 2020, and its EU-Africa High Level Policy Dialogue on science, technology and innovation, which includes the implementation of the jointly funded EU-Africa Research and Innovation Partnership focusing on food and nutrition security and sustainable agriculture (endorsed by the EU-Africa Summit 2014).
