In the face of climate extremes and economic shocks, resilience-oriented innovation is essential to sustain and increase productivity and to ensure food security in small-scale agrifood systems. With investments in agricultural research and adaptation well below estimated needs, Africa is at a disadvantage in the
fight against climate challenges. Drawing on the collective insights of fifteen African researchers and innovators, this brief recommends three strategies for more effectively investing in smallholder-centered research and innovation that advance climate-resilient and sustainable agriculture.
