The Kosmos Workshop “Emergency Agriculture and Food Security” will bring together leading Berlin-based, German and international researchers working on various related aspects of this emerging field.

They will pursue three related objectives:

  • To review recent findings and scientific progress (the “state of the art”);
  • To identify and prioritize novel research questions (or “knowledge gaps”); and
  • To plan future research collaborations and joint proposals.

These objectives will be attained by reviewing a set of related research questions with short presentations and subsequent plenary discussions.

The overall research themes include:

  • Forms and representations of emergencies and fragile environments;
  • Drivers of food insecurity in emergencies and in fragile environments;
  • Agricultural practices in emergencies;
  • Consequences of food insecurity in emergencies and in fragile environments, especially at the individual level;
  • The role and impact of local and global policy actors for emergency agriculture and food security;
  • New and emerging data sources and indicators; and
  • Methods and techniques.
