Twenty three African and European research partners are involved in this new long term research and innovation partnership on the sustainable intensification of the agro-food system in Africa - PROIntensAfrica. The project is funded by the EU and its focus is on sustainably improving food and nutrition security and the livelihoods of African farmers.

The ProIntensAfrica project starts with a workshop in Accra, Ghana, in April 2015. The project will develop into the IntensAfrica programme within two years.
