What we do

Food losses and waste are big problems in Kenya’s agriculture and food industry. Considerable amounts of perishable, nutrition dense food products are lost before they reach the market. Reducing post-harvest losses enhances the efficiency of the food system, minimises environmental footprint of agricultural production, and makes more food available, accessible and affordable for consumers.

We are a collective of organisations that exchange learnings and align strategies to remove barriers that stand between newly developed digital services and the thousands of agribusinesses and millions of low-income producers (and consumers) that could benefit from these. By removing barriers together, we aim to accelerate the digital transformation of agrifood value chains across Sub Saharan Africa and Southern Asia and make this transformation inclusive for all.

Together with Wageningen Centre for Development Innovation NFP organises an e-course on Food Systems. Each edition of the E-course has welcomed 500+ agriculture and food professionals from around the world. During this course, participants deepen their understanding of the food systems approach and learn how to apply this in their work. The e-course is a mentored online course of 4 weekly modules and includes self-paced learning blocks, plenary sessions and optional group work.

As part of the work that Wageningen University & Research (WUR) and Netherlands Food Partnership (NFP) are delivering to drive the SDG2 agenda forward, we’ll be facilitating a ‘Putting Food Systems Thinking into Sector Practice’ six-part webinar series for agrifood practitioners, who are actively interested in taking action towards achieving concrete positive food systems results.

Clim-Eat is a new Think and Do Tank for food and climate, hosted by the Netherlands Food Partnership, that works to radically accelerate climate action in our food systems by bridging the gap between science and action. Through innovative engagement, actionable evidence generation, and effective outreach efforts, Clim-Eat seeks to challenge and change science and policy for food systems in low- and middle-income countries.

SeedNL enables powerful collaboration between relevant Dutch organisations and international partners to achieve urgent changes that contribute to SDG2 by 2030. SeedNL aims to strengthen the seed sector in developing countries, provide appropriate access to quality seeds for all farmers and increase productivity and farmer income. To contribute to Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals, three parties established the SeedNL partnership: Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Plantum, the Dutch branch association for planting materials.

The Netherlands East African Dairy Partnership (NEADAP) offers a platform for exchange of knowledge and experience to tackle current challenges and leverage further development in East African dairy. NEADAP core partners are Agriterra, SNV, Solidaridad and Wageningen University & Research (WUR), each with their own knowledge, expertise, networks, local partners and projects in East Africa.

In the previous phase, NEADAP worked mainly in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda. In the current phase it will also engage with dairy stakeholders in Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi.
