Joined action needed for bu ...Whereas Prof. Rabbinge thought the ‘Who will feed the World?’ report of Oxfam Novib was outdated, Prof. Van der Ploeg considered it a good step in giving increased attention to small ‘peasant’ farmers.

Agri-ProFocus is very pleased to introduce Lucas Simons, Director of ForeFinance, and Caroline Figuères, Director of IICD, as our new Board members. They will replace Board members Adrie Papma (vice-president) and Eric Heinen (member) who resigned as of June 2011.
The Agri-ProFocus partnership and Oxfam Novib are happy to invite you to an expert meeting on the theme “Who will feed the World”. Leading scientists and food industry representatives will reflect on this question and the current debate around it.
Wageningen UR (University and Research centre) and Agri-ProFocus organised an Ethiopia platform meeting last week titled “Research for development in Ethiopia”. The aim of this meeting was to present and exchange information about key research activities in which Wageningen UR is engaged in Ethiopia.
