- Reducing Hunger: By improving agricultural productivity and reducing post-harvest losses, the partnership aims to help alleviate hunger in developing countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
- Sustainable Agriculture: The collaboration will promote sustainable agricultural practices, such as conservation agriculture and climate-smart farming, to ensure long-term food security and mitigate the effects of climate change.
- Economic Development: Increased agricultural productivity and income for farmers in developing countries can lead to economic growth and improved living standards in their communities.
