Project
Sustainet – Sustainable Agriculture Information Network – is a cooperative
project committed to combating world hunger.
The project hence directly contributes towards achieving the German
Government’s Programme of Action 2015, a response to the United Nations’
Millennium Goals to reduce by half the proportion of people living in
extreme poverty worldwide by 2015. Around 75 per cent of the world’s poorest
people live in rural regions. Agriculture thus plays a key role in combating
poverty.
Sustainet cooperates with projects and organisations in Africa, Latin
America and Asia that focus on sustainable agriculture and their wide-scale
application.
The pilot regions are :
| in Asia: India |
| in Africa: Kenya and Tanzania |
| in Latin America: Peru, Bolivia, Brasil |
|
First project phase: 12/2003 to 11/2006
For many years now, German development organisations have been helping their
partners refine and disseminate sustainable agricultural systems. The aid
organisations such as Brot für die Welt, German Agro Action, Misereor as
well as Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit have now joined
forces together in Sustainet to identify factors that help scale up pilot
approaches and identify the framework conditions required to do so.
