1. What is our Platform ?
• Late 2004, CGIAR working group on agriculture
and health was formed
• April 2006, Platform on Agriculture and Health
Research was endorsed by the CGIAR Alliance
Executive (the 15 centers) and welcomed by
the Science Council of CGIAR
• We focus on agriculture – health linkages that
are relevant for the poor

The Global CGIAR
![Page 6: CGIAR Platform on Agriculture and Health](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/555a396cd8b42ae1398b4916/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, June 2007
What is our platform? Not just parallel
extraction and burning of existing knowledge
Not this
![Page 7: CGIAR Platform on Agriculture and Health](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/555a396cd8b42ae1398b4916/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, June 2007
What is our platform? creating new
knowledge…
…by bringing the research communities of
agriculture and health to more productive harmony
![Page 8: CGIAR Platform on Agriculture and Health](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/555a396cd8b42ae1398b4916/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, June 2007
…and who and how?
• Agriculture and health researchers
• Development partners / investors
Operational aspects of the platform
[virtual, lean, open, network mode;
research implementation through existing
mechanisms]

Conceptual framework
![Page 10: CGIAR Platform on Agriculture and Health](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/555a396cd8b42ae1398b4916/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

3. Main issues
Distinguishing between “big issues” and
“main issues” for the platform
“Big issues” of agriculture and health
• Producing the needed food and
providing access to it
• Agriculture, urbanization and health
• Sustainability of food and water
systems and health
![Page 11: CGIAR Platform on Agriculture and Health](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/555a396cd8b42ae1398b4916/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, June 2007
Land use, productivity and health
the next “green revolutions”
![Page 12: CGIAR Platform on Agriculture and Health](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/555a396cd8b42ae1398b4916/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, June 2007
Urbanization, food system, and health
![Page 13: CGIAR Platform on Agriculture and Health](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/555a396cd8b42ae1398b4916/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, June 2007
Agriculture, energy, consumption, climate change
and the health environment
![Page 14: CGIAR Platform on Agriculture and Health](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/555a396cd8b42ae1398b4916/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Joachim von Braun, IFPRI, June 2007
“Main issues” of
agriculture and health research
Some preliminary priorities:
Nutrition, Diet, and Health
Food Supply Chains and Food Safety
Water Management and Water-Borne Diseases
Animal diseases, Avian Flu and Livelihoods
HIV/AIDS (and …) and Nutrition and Agriculture
Suggestion: Focus on “main issues” while
keeping the “big issues” in the background
![Page 15: CGIAR Platform on Agriculture and Health](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052410/555a396cd8b42ae1398b4916/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

and synergies between …:
Low-cost, high-
quality foods
Diet and nutrition
Food safetyValue chain
management of food
safety
Water-associated
diseases
Irrigation, water
quality

5. Way forward from this meeting
Help to set priorities [for the CGIAR and
for the global agriculture – health
research community (criteria)]
Help to coordinate research on
agriculture and health [with a focus on
the linkages between the two sectors]
