Agrotec is fully aware that food security interventions have to be addressed within the broader context of poverty alleviation and that any interventions must be integrated within agricultural, rural and socio-economic development. Agrotec, through the various projects it has implemented in this field, places great value on food security awareness building in order for governments to understand and acknowledge how food security affects poverty. In this way, people can be enabled to engage in food production and guarantee their food security, surpassing the strictly subsistence agriculture level, and ensuring environmental sustainability.

Agrotec services include:

• Policy Advice and Strategic Planning
• Institutional strengthening and capacity building
• Assessment of food production, capacity and potential (crops and livestock)
• Assessment and restructuring of strategic food reserves and intervention bodies
• Support the setting-up and management of community development with a special emphasis on women, youth and other disadvantaged groups
