SDG 02 Zero Hunger

Rethinking Agricultural Mechanisation in Sub-Saharan Africa

We examined the potential of agricultural mechanisation to increase food security while addressing financing barriers for smallholder farmers. Our analysis highlighted opportunities for accessible technologies and innovative financial models.

Recommendations included shared-use models, adapted small-scale machinery, and alternative financing such as warehouse receipts. By combining technology with financial innovation, we promoted inclusive and sustainable approaches to agricultural mechanisation.

Strengthening Sustainability in BMW’s Supply Chain in Bangladesh

BMW sought to improve transparency and sustainability in its Kenaf supply chain in Bangladesh. We assessed risks and opportunities through field research, value chain analysis, and stakeholder consultations.

Our findings informed a project proposal addressing sustainable farming practices, traceability, and fair income distribution. Implemented later by GIZ, the initiative has since improved farmer livelihoods and enhanced supply chain sustainability.
