Abstract
The Food Resilience Through Root and Tuber Crops in Upland and Coastal Communities of the AsiaPacific (FoodSTART+) project is a 3-year research grant funded by the International Fund for Agricultural Fund (IFAD). Implemented by the International Potato Center (CIP), together with the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) and in close collaboration with the CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas (CRP-RTB), FoodSTART+ aims to enhance food resilience among poor households (HH) in upland and coastal communities of the Asia-Pacific region through the introduction of roots and tuber crops (RTCs) innovations, primarily within the framework of IFAD investments. The project’s objectives are to (1) identify gender-responsive needs and opportunities through vulnerability assessments among food-insecure RTC-producing and consuming HH; (2) design and implement innovations that enhance food resilience with partners and local stakeholders; and (3) develop and validate effective partnership strategies with IFAD investment projects in promoting RTCs for food security at scale.
