The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Bureau for Resilience, Environment and Food Security (REFS) Center for Agriculture-Led Growth is seeking feedback for a planned set of research activities to: 1) improve the genetics and management of perennial crops, including trees, shrubs, and herbaceous perennials, important to food security; 2) improve the genetics and management of climate resilient and nutritious vegetable crops; and 3) integrate efficient and effective water, land, and soil management. As USAID looks to the future of investments in research for development efforts, input from implementing partners,

local organizations, researchers, NGOs, and other interested stakeholders provides an opportunity for more coordinated, demand-driven, and effective research.
