The Institute of Development Studies (IDS) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Federal University of Lavras (UFLA) in Brazil. The MoU will open up new opportunities for collaborative research and policy impact across sustainable agriculture and food equity, building on IDS’ existing work on this theme with Brazilian partners. This three-year agreement marks the beginning of our partnership, and we look forward co-developing activities.
Alex Shankland, lead fellow of the Brazil IDS Initiative said:
“
We are delighted to be formalising our partnership with the Federal University of Lavras, which has long been one of the most important centres of research and teaching in the field of agricultural innovation, where Brazil is a world leader.
