As an academic and early career researcher for the Centre for Resilient Agri-Food Systems (CRAFS), Dr Elias Mwakilama will use this grant to collaborate with other researchers in the region and conduct a data mapping exercise. The goal is to build an interoperable database that will be relevant for researching the complex interactions between smallholder farmer food production and resilience, high yield gaps, food production policies and access, and sustainable methods in Southern Africa.
