The N8 universities have an extensive Global Challenges Research Fund portfolio.

Within N8 AgriFood, the emphasis is on interdisciplinarity and the strong international partnerships of researchers and stakeholders in low and middle income countries.

We have developed a strong foundation for international research and innovation projects to help deliver the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

We aim to deliver development impact by changing food systems policy and practice, and actively participating in the global agrifood debate.
