Summary: There is a growing consensus that the reluctance of agriculture and nutrition communities to collaborate is undermining attempts of both to meet their stated objectives. This paper briefly reviews the conceptual linkages between the two sectors, summarizes current impact evidence on these pathways, outlines the drivers that will force a closer collaboration in the future, and makes some suggestions about the strategic choices that need to be made if the “forced” collaboration is to be between allies, not between bedfellows or adversaries.

Abstract only

There is a growing consensus that the reluctance of agriculture and nutrition communities to collaborate is undermining attempts of both to meet their stated objectives. This paper briefly reviews the conceptual linkages between the two sectors, summarizes current impact evidence on these pathways, outlines the drivers that will force a closer collaboration in the future, and makes some suggestions about the strategic choices that need to be made if the “forced” collaboration is to be between allies, not between bedfellows or adversaries.
