Past Projects

Cultiv@te

Technology and innovation are increasingly playing an important role in addressing the complex development challenges surrounding agri-food systems globally—from poverty and inequality, climate change, biodiversity loss, and food loss and waste. However, the gains of technological innovation in the agri-food sector remain largely concentrated in the Global North. In 2019, we launched Cultiv@te—UNDP’s global innovation initiative for sustainable agriculture—with generous support from Singapore’s Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, and with the realisation that meaningful transformation of agri-food systems will require developing countries having access to knowledge, technology, and resources to foster innovation locally.
