Power for Food Partnership: Powering Resilient Food Systems
Power for Food Partnership
Current agricultural and food systems struggle to balance productivity with inclusivity and ecological sustainability, creating a need for innovative approaches that integrate diverse knowledge, practices, and partnerships. IKEA Foundation and SNV Kenya are partnering to strengthen the nexus of food and energy systems in Africa (Kenya, Rwanda, Ethiopia and Uganda) under the €45 million Power for Food Partnership (PFP).
The partnership addresses the urgent challenge of transforming food systems to be more sustainable, equitable, and energy resilient while scaling regenerative agriculture (RA) and productive use of renewable energy (PURE) practices in the face of climate change, environmental degradation, and socio-economic inequalities.
PFP will shift to a portfolio programming approach that supports systems change at both regional and global levels through three interconnected pathways:
Learn
- Practice-based learning and evidence generation
- Harvesting cross-border knowledge exchange
- Embedding systems transformation mindsets
Link
- Action-oriented collaboration among system actors
- Nurturing RA-PURE nexus champions
- Convening regional and global partners towards joint RA-PURE agendas
Leverage
- Embedding approaches in policies and practice
- Influencing and leveraging new and existing investment opportunities
- Strengthening organisational capacities of local actors applying RA-PURE nexus approaches
Join The Movement
Help connect regenerative agriculture and renewable energy and help build a future where people have equitable opportunities to thrive in renewable, regenerative, and resilient environments.
Egerton University’s CoELIB brings technical expertise in scaling research, knowledge, innovation and adoption of RA-PURE interventions (learn pathway) in Nakuru, Kericho, Nandi, Kakamega, Bungoma, Busia, and Uasin Gishu counties in Kenya.
