Through collaborative research innovation labs, addressing the global challenge of achieving sustainable food security is making progress. By mobilizing US universities to improve human and institutional capacity in agricultural sciences developing countries can utilize these university resources to solve food, nutritional, and environmental barriers.

This presentation is based on AMA Innovation Lab projects for the Collaborative Research Council Meeting. This meeting provided an opportunity for USAID staff members and mission staff from USAID/Tanzania, Ethiopia, Uganda, and Mozambique to join their agricultural research and development partners to discuss existing programs and future directions for advancing efforts along the research to development continuum.

This presentation was presented by Vern Long from the USAID Bureau for Food Security and took place in Morogoro, Tanzania.
