  and health was formed

• April 2006, Platform on Agriculture and Health
  Research was endorsed by the CGIAR Alliance
  Executive (the 15 centers) and welcomed by
  the Science Council of CGIAR

• We focus on agriculture – health linkages that
  are relevant for the poor

Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, June 2007
CGIAR - A Strategic Alliance

• Created in 1971
• 64 public and private members
   - Including 25 developing and 22
     industrialized countries
• 4 Cosponsors (World Bank, FAO, IFAD,
  UNDP)
• 15 CGIAR Centers
• Key products –Knowledge, technology,
  policy, services
• Partners in academia, civil society, private
  sector, and national ag. research institutions
  (North and South)
• 8,500 scientists and staff
 Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, June 2007
The Global CGIAR




Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, June 2007
What is our platform? Not just parallel
     extraction and burning of existing knowledge




Not this




  Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, June 2007
What is our platform? creating new
            knowledge…




      …by bringing the research communities of
  agriculture and health to more productive harmony
Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, June 2007
…and who and how?

     • Agriculture and health researchers

     • Development partners / investors

     Operational aspects of the platform
      [virtual, lean, open, network mode;
      research implementation through existing
      mechanisms]


Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, June 2007
Conceptual framework




Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, June 2007
3. Main issues

     Distinguishing between “big issues” and
      “main issues” for the platform

     “Big issues” of agriculture and health
     • Producing the needed food and
       providing access to it
     • Agriculture, urbanization and health
     • Sustainability of food and water
       systems and health
Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, June 2007
Land use, productivity and health
                      the next “green revolutions”




Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, June 2007
Urbanization, food system, and health




Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, June 2007
Agriculture, energy, consumption, climate change
                      and the health environment




Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, June 2007
“Main issues” of
                         agriculture and health research

    Some preliminary priorities:
     Nutrition, Diet, and Health
     Food Supply Chains and Food Safety
     Water Management and Water-Borne Diseases
     Animal diseases, Avian Flu and Livelihoods
     HIV/AIDS (and …) and Nutrition and Agriculture

Suggestion: Focus on “main issues” while
keeping the “big issues” in the background
  Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, June 2007
4. Priority-setting ?

Determine priorities by exploring opportunities
 and synergies between …:
    Diet and nutrition                             Low-cost, high-
                                                    quality foods

                                                     Value chain
           Food safety                            management of food
                                                       safety
  Water-associated                                  Irrigation, water
     diseases                                            quality

Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, June 2007
