Research

Agriculture is the backbone of the Ethiopian economy, but climate change strongly affects food security in Sub-Saharan Africa. Ethiopia is facing severe droughts having impacts on the lives and livelihoods of farmers. Demand-driven research on climate change and food security will be conducted and improved within CLIFOOD with special reference to the Agenda 2030 and its SDGs. Interdisciplinary research on adaptation strategies for agriculture is conducted with respect to weed control, livestock production, food and feed crops, soil health, grain quality, farming households, human nutrition as well as seasonal weather forecasts.
