Description
The OECD’s Co-operative Research Programme (CRP): Sustainable Agricultural and Food Systems strengthens scientific knowledge to inform policy on the sustainable use of natural resources in agriculture, food, fisheries and forests. Established in 1979, it funds individual research fellowships and sponsors international conferences, workshops and symposiums. These activities encourage the exchange of ideas, international mobility and lasting collaboration among scientists and institutions.
The programme places a policy emphasis on all funded activities, focusing on global issues including food security, climate change, and the interconnectedness of economies through trade and scientific co-operation. Fellowships enable scientists to work with researchers abroad, while sponsored events share innovative research and scientific developments with policymakers, industry and academia. The goal is to provide objective evidence and scientific advice supporting future policy decisions and globally agreed objectives.
