This project engages youth in horticultural enterprise through the identification of profitable opportunities and creation of an effective financing framework, thus empowering young entrepreneurs to select and run successful horticultural businesses.
With emphasis on the promotion of youth-led enterprises, this project raises consumer awareness of the nutritional benefits of African indigenous fruits and vegetables (AIFVs), while increasing incomes for all actors along the value chain.

Providing a deeper understanding of the significant role African indigenous fruit and vegetable (AIFVs) have in global food and nutrition security, this project investigates how actors along the value chain can increase income through enhanced production and consumption of and AIFVs in Ghana and Mali.
This research aims to increase employment opportunities in the horticulture sector through youth engagement with efficient soil management practices and digital tools to enhance African indigenous fruit and vegetable (AIFV) production.

A project focused on the impacts of long and short horticultural value chains on nutrition and economic outcomes, and the utilization of information communication technologies (ICTs) within these value chains, to determine the interventions and innovations required to achieve specific outcomes and avoid harmful unintended scaling outcomes.
Through identification of practices to reduce pre- and post-harvest losses, along with effective marketing and market access strategies of vegetables, this project will improve household nutrition, increase sales, and elevate the household income status small-scale vegetable producers.

Focused on a successful transition for small-scale producers in their shift from staple to horticulture production, this project examines the trade-offs across nutritious diet, income, land use and time availability, for small-scale producers in Kenya.
To improve food system outcomes, such as accessible and affordable healthy diets, this project explores the role of mid-stream actors in alleviating value chain challenges that impact the affordability and availability of healthy and safe foods for urban consumers.

A fellowship-oriented program that provides seed funding to higher-education students in Honduras to conduct small-scale research projects across the horticulture value chain. Students will be guided through a grant drafting and submission training program to increase capacity in applying for funding, and supporting expertise to implement research projects.
Also called MásRiego, this project develops and implements holistic, business-driven solutions to increase availability of weather resilient solutions while increasing inclusion.
