Description	There has been long-term ongoing collaboration between the Indian Department of Biotechnology DBT (National Ministry of Science and Technology), the University of Cambridge and TIGR2ESS partners. One early collaboration was a survey of millet use by smallholder farmers in contrasting regions of India, which acted as a scoping study and assisted Dr Shailja Gupta (formerly of DBT) in initiating a parallel research programme. Owing to TIGR2ESS' continued support of early career researchers (ECRs) in India, DBT had committed £3million of funding for up to 30 Indo-UK Crop Science Fellowships, as a joint initiative with the National Institute of Plant Genome Research (NIPGR), Delhi. Fifteen research institutions signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to host Indian ECRs for up to two years, to provide world-class training in modern day essential research and development tools in priority areas of crop science. Seven UK and six Indian institutions are signatories on the MoU. These fellowships will strengthen long-term R&D collaborations between India and the UK and reinforce Indian crop science research through fellows returning to India upon completion of their fellowship. Although the delivery of this programme has been delayed due to the pandemic restrictions, we are still hopeful this scheme will remain actionable. At early onset of TIGR2ESS, researchers engaged with senior policy makers in India, and knowledge exchange was supported through the Policy Fellowships programme, which actively and successfully recruited five fellows from India who were closely aligned to national and state government departments. The aim to recruit a further cohort of female Policy Fellows (2020-2021) was planned but implementation was unfortunately curtailed due to the pandemic travel restrictions, although we were able to host a remote series of workshops with Ms Juthika Pathankar from the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrpreneurship. The Policy Fellowship programme informed in both directions, aligning TIGR2ESS science with Indian national and state policy and has directly led to policy action. Outputs from TIGR2ESS via the Policy Fellows engagements have informed new policies in Punjab and researchers have established a formal partnership with the State government (see impact highlights below). Further, establishing and continuing a series of roundtable events jointly hosted by TIGR2ESS and the Centre of Science and Policy at the University of Cambridge, consolidated by a partnership with IIT Delhi (Prof Ambuj Sagar) and has contributed to ongoing policy engagement for a number of TIGR2ESS researchers beyond 2022. Notably, TIGR2ESS has catalysed a series of national and international partnerships and initiatives aimed at supporting early career researchers, in particular women, to continue professional and skill development during COVID-19 lockdown. Sustainable value chains & efficient water use: In Punjab, over 9000 farmers have been trained in techniques for improved water efficiency, saving 58 billion litres of water across just two growing seasons. Designed a climate resilient agricultural system, working with stakeholders from farm-level advisory through to policy. Cross FP collaborations developed a digital agriculture app/tool that brought context-specific information directly to farmers resulting in very high yield responses. Researchers are currently engaging with the private sector to develop and expand the climate-smart information system through smart phones and SMS. Exploring suitability and benefits of water-saving technologies has led to TIGR2ESS researchers working with the Indian Government to mainstream systems such as drip irrigation and efficient recycling of waste agricultural bi-products. Further, ways of subsidising small farms to buy and install storage tanks for water are being explored. There is now an appreciation that canal water distribution should be focal on the policy agenda and crop diversification needs to be part of the solutions that are considered, particularly where flood irrigation for rice wastes up to 60% of the water used. Research exploring the suitability of Farmer Producer Organisations (FPO) methods in context with the existing Mandi System and the 2020 Farm Bills, demonstrated the benefits of the FPO model for increasing water-use efficiency. This work informed a new policy to provide state-level support of FPOs and agribusinesses in Punjab, developed chiefly through engagement with our policy fellow Mr Suresh Kumar and TIGR2ESS collaborators, Centers for International Project Trusts (CIPT), and aimed to maximise synergy between water and energy use in Punjab agriculture. Outcomes include state policy development in the form of Punjab 'Policy Notification'. Knowledge exchange for healthy and sustainable communities: Created a far reaching, open-access MOOC 'Creative Communication, Extension and Community Resource Management for Sustainable Development' hosted by the Indian Ministry of Human Resource Development's Swayam platform, developed by researchers from FP1 and FP6 with IGNOU (the World's largest open university). The initial success of the course, launched in English in September 2021, has resulted in the demand for a translated version which will be more openly accessible to Hindi-speaking communities and this is due to be launched by TIGR2ESS partner, IGNOU, in July 2022. Mobile Teaching Kitchens provided a means of serving (and engaging with) at-risk populations who may be illiterate or not in regular employment. The MTK model when applied is far reaching and has immediate impact. The provision of up to 100 meals a day during the TIGR2ESS research conducted provided a means of informing on food choices and nutritional values, while at the same time distributing nutritionally balanced, locally sourced meals. The study demonstrated that a mobile unit staffed by 5-6 champions, can serve up to 100 meals a day, thus having the potential to reach up to 24,000 people a year. Additional activities also stimulated the entrepreneurship opportunities for females in rural communities, via engaging in community demonstrations applying existing skills (textiles, clothing) in developing marketing and income generating opportunities in the Punjab. Crop science, resilience, & diversification: TIGR2ESS research focussed on the discovery of traits in crops, such as wheat, sorghum and millet, to enhance water-use efficiency, yield stability and drought and heat tolerance, to feed the world's growing population in a time of climate change. Lines have been identified with traits that are of interest and these are currently entered into international breeding programmes to develop drought/heat resilient varieties. Implemented practices to increase the use of Millets, which are nutritious and drought-tolerant, but their production has declined. We have reversed this trend by changing attitudes to millet, enabling production and processing, and through adding value, in collaboration with farmers and communities. This has also identified opportunities and challenges for creating sustainable agricultural systems, Odisha Millets Mission addresses the demand-supply mismatch for millet, focussing on marginal lands and indigenous populations and examining four key areas: production, processing, marketing and consumption. TIGR2ESS researchers have partnered with the Department of Rural Development (DRD), Government of Tamil Nadu with a twin objective of increasing the employment opportunities and management of salinity through soil and water conservation measures. They have developed a Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan and mapped the key water challenges and other factors triggering soil salinity, proposed water actions for improving both public/common land and agriculture land. Implementing the works through Mahatma Gandhi Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme from 2022 onwards.

Policy Influence Type	Participation in a guidance/advisory committee
Impact	On Thursday 5 March 2020 TIGR2ESS Flagship Project (FP) 5 held a workshop on policy interventions for agri-business in Punjab. This event, held at Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana, was co-hosted by key members of FP5, Dr Sandeep Kapur (PAU) and Dr Jag Srai (University of Cambridge), and chaired by PAU Vice Chancellor Dr BS Dhillon. In attendance were key state government officials, including Suresh Kumar (Chief Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister), Viswajeet Khanna (Additional Chief Secretary, Development), and leaders from the major state Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) and Cooperatives. Draft policy interventions were discussed in detail with key state government officials with a view to finalising a policy document over the next few weeks, for approval in the second quarter of 2020. Crucially, it was recognised that the policy should reflect the need to develop agri-business supply chains, connecting agricultural producers at scale with suppliers and end-user markets. A state-level policy intervention would provide much-needed support to establish new FPOs, which currently face multiple challenges during the early stages of business incorporation. Such a policy could address issues surrounding the verification of producers, land records and ownership, and payment to suppliers. FPOs, with state-level backing, also have the potential to address a lack of resources available to farmers, high-input costs and a lack of early-stage market linkages. As a direct result of this workshop, Dr Kapur, Dr Srai and Mr Puneet Thind (representing several FPO organisations in Punjab and surrounding states) have been tasked with developing an integrated proposal for developing agri-business in Punjab covering the formation of farmer coalitions, value-addition through downstream processing, and market access. The policy, if implemented, would encourage the development of agri-tech and digital platform technologies in the state. This will improve transactional and scale efficiencies and enable the production of high quality products better able to compete in international markets.

Title	FGD Surveys
Description	Instead of directly arriving at the research questions we have adopted a specific approach across FP1. We have conducted FGDs across the sites to listen broadly to the voices across genders and ages, and to identify possible research questions across the sites. This enables the research to be relevant right from the very conception of research questions. We believe this is a significant departure in method, and also create a qualitative data set that others could potentially access. How it would be developed and stored and accessed, as also encrypted is a matter requiring further attention.

Organisation	Leeds Beckett University
Country	United Kingdom
Sector	Academic/University
PI Contribution	The creation of a Special Interest Group to discuss findings on our respective research projects. The workshop at Leeds Beckett University begins a possibility of further technology led collaborations to advance sustainable agriculture in India. Dr. Fennell was invited to speak about how her previous UGC-UKIERI grant for a collaborative research initiative, in partnership with Anglia Ruskin University, and the Indian partners were the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras and University of Punjab, Chandigarh for 2014-16, led to the broader TIGR2ESS programme. This project focussed on understanding how bottlenecks that limit Internet access for rural agricultural production and community-based tourism can be removed, using the Portolan application and android mobile phones, to collect upstream data and an innovative survey instrument to collect downstream data.
Collaborator Contribution	Understanding how food gets from the farm to the shop and our plates is an integral part of global food security. However, agri-business is not seen as an attractive sector for entrepreneurship. The collaborators at Leeds Beckett University, provided information on their research In India, where despite developmental policies aimed at providing employment to millions of unemployed rural youth, the core problem remains of surplus agricultural labour and closure of traditional village industries. In the UK, with farming seen as one of the least entrepreneurial sectors, there is increasing attention on high-tech agriculture so farmers can seize opportunities and compete with larger firms. Their project is to make valuable new contributions to the practice of agri-food innovation and enterprise development by conducting a comparative analysis of India and the UK. This project is funded by UKIERI (British Council and UGC India)

Results and Impact	On-line panel discussion hosted by InSAF India (International Solidarity for Academic Freedom in India) is an international coalition supporting academic freedom in India, and currently campaigning for the release of jailed academics. Live on 27 February 2021 What is the connection between the ongoing farmer protests and the arrests of scholars and civic activists in India? Farmers' unions agitating against three farm laws have notably also raised their voices demanding the release of numerous intellectuals and civic activists, arrested under the 'Unlawful Activities Prevention Act'. Several of those arrested have been actively involved in struggles of the landless and rural poor, and have been vocal in their opposition to India's increasingly increasingly authoritarian, pro-corporate and casteist modes of governance. This webinar brings together scholars and farmers to reflect how academics, farmers and agricultural workers can forge solidarities in times of dispossession and crises. Our guest speakers Harinder Kaur 'Bindu', President, Bharatiya Kisan Union (Ekta Ugrahan) Women's Wing, India Vijoo Krishnan, All India Joint Secretary, All India Kisan Sabha, India Surinder Jodhka, Professor of Sociology, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi Shreya Sinha, Research Associate, Department of Geography, University of Cambridge Our moderator Ashok Kumbamu, Sociologist and editorial board member, Capitalism, Nature, Socialism This webinar is co-hosted by InSAF India, Ambedkar King Study Circle (California), Scholars At Risk, the British Association for South Asian Studies, and the Amsterdam School of Cultural Analysis (ASCA), University of Amsterdam, University College London, and the SIU University Honors Program To learn more about or contact InSAF India, please visit our website: https://www.academicfreedomindia.com/

Results and Impact	The aim of the 1st FP5 Workshop, 1st-2nd October 2018 in Cambridge, was to provide the opportunity to every FP5 internal partner to present their current status of research along with a robust plan and timelines to contribute towards each activity described in the FP5's Motioning and Assessment Matrix. The invited external partners assisted in promoting the necessary interdisciplinary collaboration in order to holistically tackle agricultural supply network operations and natural resources appropriation challenges in India. The resulting synergies with invited external partners were poised to unleash innovative potential that has been probably dormant due to the traditional myopic, isolated, approaches encountered both in academia and in practice. Key external attendees: 1) Nagesh Gavirneni (Cornell University); 2) Daniel Bumblauskas (University of Northern Iowa).

Results and Impact	The aim of the 3rd FP5 Workshop, 26th-30th September 2019 in Cambridge, was to provide the opportunity to every FP5 internal partner to present their current status of research over their articulated FP5 subprojects and to prepare for the TIGR2ESS interim report that was due on March 2020. More particular, the Workshop catalysed: - Presentation and documentation of progress with regards to the FP5 subprojects that discuss particular interventions that could improve Indian agriculture sustainability. - Monitoring of FP5 progress and planning for the months ahead. - Preparation for an FP5-based White Paper that could inform public stakeholders in India about potential technology and policy interventions. - Exploration the feasibility to establish a mechanism/body connecting 35 identified FPOs in Punjab to catalyse the adoption of the FP5 interventions. - Mapping the value chains of four products: (i) wheat); (ii) rice; (iii) kinnow; and (iv) dairy. - Preparation for the TIGR2ESS interim report that was due on March 2020. The invited external partners contributed to specific research areas of FP5 that the internal partners identified as essential to both complement research areas and promoted interdisciplinarity to tackle agricultural supply network operations and natural resources appropriation challenges in India in an integrated manner. The resulting synergies that had been nurtured the previous months helped to identify areas that FP5 differentiates from other international efforts; FP5 extends the traditional myopic view of similar initiatives by having articulated 15 targeted research projects that capture interventions from the operational to tactical and strategic levels.

Results and Impact	The recently extended lockdown in India, now in force until 3 May, is a necessary measure to slow the spread of COVID-19 and thereby save lives. India's large population and the capacity of the health sector in the country to handle the pandemic means slowing the spread of infection is essential. But the impacts of the lockdown are not gender-neutral. Women are more vulnerable from both a health and economic perspective. Here, Padmaja Ravula from Flagship Projects 1 and 6 shares her insights into the impact of the lockdown on women who work as domestic help or in part-time occupations in urban and peri-urban Hyderabad.

Results and Impact	ABSTRACT: In the wake of the current and unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, on 20th March 2020, the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) emphasised the importance of appropriate diet and lifestyle measures including adequate nutrition to protect the immune system. This is of course not a substitute for adherence, first and foremost, to key public health and medical advice on prevention. However, as vast sections of society spend more time at home, it provides an opportunity to focus on strengthening the four lifestyle pillars of sleep, mind, exercise and diet. To elaborate on diet and nutrition, particularly given the variable quality of online information, we have put together a 10-point summary as general guidance

The Mobile Teaching Kitchen in India - Bhavishya Shakti - is one such programme helping to create more opportunities for the empowerment of women and their families. The project is now a microenterprise where women from urban slums in Kolkata are confidently creating nutritionally balanced meals developed by dieticians and tailored towards the needs of the local market to tackle the triple burden of malnutrition in India and transferring knowledge amongst the general public about healthy affordable meals.

Results and Impact	This lively webinar about what sort of diet is best for us and our planet, featured lots of interaction between our six expert panellists and a highly engaged audience of just over 200 people keen to know more. Audience questions ranged from, 'Should people on a plant-based diet take supplements?' to 'Is it better to eat locally sourced animals or overseas plants?' Thanks to the energy and enthusiasm of our panel almost all questions were answered, either on-screen in the webinar's Q&A function, or verbally, as our Chair fielded questions and bowled them out to the appropriate panellists, who covered topics from genetics to crop-rotation in their answers. Over 60% of respondents to our audience survey said that they had either researched one of the topics discussed, following the event, or had made changes to their diet as a result of attending. One audience member summed up the event's effect as follows: 'I'm slowly going plant basedwatching the event literally was a GAMECHANGER for me.'

Primary Audience	Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact	FP5 Workshop held in India (2nd-6th March 2020), mainly to engage with policy-makers on the topic of Farmer Producer Organisations in the light of the published policy document "Formation and Promotion of Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs)" by the Government of India. Particularly, on Thursday 5 March 2020 TIGR2ESS Flagship Project (FP) 5 held a workshop on policy interventions for agri-business in Punjab. This event, held at Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana, was co-hosted by key members of FP5, Dr Sandeep Kapur (PAU) and Dr Jag Srai (University of Cambridge), and chaired by PAU Vice Chancellor Dr BS Dhillon. In attendance were key state government officials, including Suresh Kumar (Chief Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister), Viswajeet Khanna (Additional Chief Secretary, Development), and leaders from the major state Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) and Cooperatives. Draft policy interventions were discussed in detail with key state government officials with a view to finalising a policy document over the next few weeks, for approval in the second quarter of 2020. Crucially, it was recognised that the policy should reflect the need to develop agri-business supply chains, connecting agricultural producers at scale with suppliers and end-user markets. A state-level policy intervention would provide much-needed support to establish new FPOs, which currently face multiple challenges during the early stages of business incorporation. Such a policy could address issues surrounding the verification of producers, land records and ownership, and payment to suppliers. FPOs, with state-level backing, also have the potential to address a lack of resources available to farmers, high-input costs and a lack of early-stage market linkages. As a direct result of this workshop, Dr Kapur, Dr Srai and Mr Puneet Thind (representing several FPO organisations in Punjab and surrounding states) have been tasked with developing an integrated proposal for developing agri-business in Punjab covering the formation of farmer coalitions, value-addition through downstream processing, and market access. The policy, if implemented, would encourage the development of agri-tech and digital platform technologies in the state. This will improve transactional and scale efficiencies and enable the production of high quality products better able to compete in international markets.

Results and Impact	Ground-level evidence from Tamil Nadu on the sudden disruption of supply chains for both non-perishable and perishable commodities has pointed to the adverse effects of COVID-19 on farming and farmers' livelihoods. In Thanjavur, known as the 'granary of south India', and Pudukottai and Villupuram districts of Tamil Nadu state, farmers are unable to sell their produce. Without adequate storage facilities, they are staring not just at losses, but also lack of liquidity to prepare for the next planting season. In the absence of a market, or storage, many have not bothered to harvest the crop.

Heredity, environment, diet, lifestyle and socioeconomic factors determine the health and well being of a community. We are hoping to study the rural and urban communities of Punjab. In the background of theories of change, we are studying different aspects of education and empowerment that can improve lives leading to better nutrition, health and economic outcomes. Our project explores the areas of skill development, nutrition, communication needs and the relationships between these factors.

Results and Impact	The central focus of the paper was on the adverse consequences of the orphaning of the group of cereals termed 'millets' collected in the late 1990s for addressing the food needs of the most marginalised groups. Furthermore, as there are a wide range of millets that are grown in semi-arid communities, in both Africa and South Asia, it offers an opportunity to bring women back into the labour market through focussing on a greater production of millets in these communities. This paper contributes to the session through demonstrating that sometimes it is the lack of appreciation or appropriation of food practices, rather than their positive uptake, that can be detrimental to affected cultures. There were a number of discussions on traditional cereals and heritage and the author has since been invited to meetings with organisations working with the Cambridge Heritage Research Centre (such as National Trust and English Heritage, UK)

Results and Impact	Blog by Nitya Rao, Ayesha Pattnaik, Arundhita Bhanjdeo and Nivedita Narain India's national lockdown announced on March 24th, 2020 came into force 12 hours later. Within a few days, the big story emerging from across Indian cities was of inter-state migrant workers, stranded in cities without work, money or food. With no public transport, many started walking hundreds of kilometres to their homes. Those who stayed, exhausted their savings and were further sucked into debt. The lockdown drew attention to the invisibility of migrant workers in the policy space, and the systematic neglect of their basic rights: at origin, in transit and at destination. Our research, mapping the experiences of workers migrating from the eastern Indian state of Bihar to four more 'developed' states (Gujarat, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Kerala), before, during and after the lockdown, emphasizes the need for transformative social protection that goes beyond handouts to recognize migrant workers as rights-bearing citizens.

Results and Impact	ABSTRACT: Poor diet is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality, with 11 million deaths in 2017 attributable to diet-related risk factors. The double burden of malnutrition, characterised by the coexistence of undernutrition along with overweight and obesity, or diet-related noncommunicable diseases, has global implications for health, the environment and the economy. In 2015, 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by United Nations (UN) member states as a universal call to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure peace and prosperity by 2030. One key goal was to achieve "Zero Hunger" and alongside the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition 2016-2025 report, this represents a significant commitment to eliminate all forms of malnutrition by 2030. The UN Decade of Family Farming, 2019-2028 (UNDFF) is aimed at strengthening family farming practices to achieve sustainable food systems that meet SDGs in an inclusive, collaborative and coherent way.

Around 60% of the poorest people from India's scheduled tribes and scheduled castes, are also anaemic. This means that a total lockdown, while it may help stop the spread of coronavirus, is likely to have a significant impact on food and nutrition and women in particular will be effected by this situation.

Results and Impact	Farmers' cooperation, technological upgrading and favourable public policies can help India deal with the pandemic. The current national lockdown to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the problems of food, nutrition and livelihood security confronting a large number of rural people, in particular, migrants to cities. While some measures have been announced, such as provision of additional rice or wheat, some pulses and oil free of cost, as well as ?1,000 cash for the purchase of other essential commodities through the Public Distribution System (PDS), we need to understand the different dimensions of food security in a holistic manner in order to address this problem in its totality.

Results and Impact	ABSTRACT: NNEdPro's Mobile Teaching Kitchens initiative empowers communities by sharing knowledge and skills through the medium of nutrition education. It aims to enhance health and wellbeing for women, children and families across communities, especially marginalised communities, as well as beyond. Step 1: Training in action - Qualified dietitians and nutritionists share their skills and train local volunteers in how to train beneficiaries how to cook a nutritious meal and deliver simple dietary messages around this. Step 2: The volunteers, supported by dietitians and nutritionists, share their knowledge with women and children in slum communities through workshops where they learn about recognising a template meal (with appropriate food swaps), and a balance of micro and macronutrients from inexpensive and locally sourced foods prepared hygienically with attention to quality and taste. Step 3: By the end of three sessions, the women (and children) that participated are able to teach each other with their newfound knowledge and culinary skills.

Results and Impact	In a new paper in the journal Sustainability, ICRISAT researchers analyzed the double burden of the COVID-19 pandemic on farmers in a leading groundnut producing state in South India. Results showed that farm production and marketing disruptions led to an average 50% drop in household incomes, an added average 23% rise in farm input costs and increased food prices drove farmers into debt and contributed to poor nutrition. Farmer losses snowballed to processors, input dealers and marketers in the value chain with varying impact. The losses could have lessened with better storage facilities, market information, public distribution system policies and farmer collectives.

Geographic Reach	Local
Primary Audience	Public/other audiences
Results and Impact	Are you trying to eat more 'super grains', like quinoa and millet? Have you considered the impact of your dietary decisions on the Global South? Join us for a panel discussion on the knotty issue of food sustainability - looking at how changes in what we eat affects our health, global and local economies, and the natural world. The shift towards healthier grains is happening globally, and there are many far reaching repercussions from these shifts. How do we ensure that these dietary changes are truly equitable - does everyone see them as supergrains or is there a stigma against eating 'hungry rice'? What additional growing and processing facilities may be needed, and how does demand effect the price landscape? Our cross-disciplinary panel (Dr. Shailaja Fennell, Dr. Richard Sidebottom, Dr. Sarah Dalzell from MillNet_i and Professor K. Narayanan of TIGr2ESS) pulled together examples from their research in India, Ethiopia, The Gambia and Senegal, showing how shifting diets affect and are affected by different processing systems, social trends and economic constraints. Millet and quinoa have made it to the UK, but what other healthy grains may be about to appear on our shelves, and what is growing in popularity elsewhere in the world? There were 50 members in the audience, both academics, undergraduate, postgraduate and post-doctoral scholars, as well as local community members.

Results and Impact	The 1st Flagship Project 5 (FP5) Workshop, 1st-2nd October 2018 in Cambridge, provided the opportunity to every FP5 internal partner to present their current status of research along with a robust plan and timelines to contribute towards each activity described in the FP5's Motioning and Assessment Matrix. The invited external partners assisted in promoting the necessary interdisciplinary collaboration in order to holistically tackle agricultural supply network operations and natural resources appropriation challenges in India. The resulting synergies with invited external partners were poised to unleash innovative potential that has been probably dormant due to the traditional myopic, isolated, approaches encountered both in academia and in practice. External invitees included recognised academics from the United States, from recognised institutions, who presented novel ideas to include in the FP5 research agenda. The outcome of the Workshop was an integrated outline of a ready-to-apply toolkit for conducting comprehensive analysis of sustainable food supply chains under natural resources' scarcity. In detail, the Workshop set out collaborations quantifiable in terms of: - An initial/prototype modelling approach development and showcase. - At least 5 working papers with invited external partners. - Identification of data sources. - A draft version of User-Technology Adoption Matrix for the Punjab State.

Results and Impact	The 2nd Flagship Project (FP5) Workshop, 11th-16th April 2019 in IIT Ropar, Punjab, India aims to to catalyse synergies among academics and business actors in India and to engage with Punjab State officials to inform sustainable agri-strategies in the State. The strategic aim is to ensure the sustainability of TIGR2ESS's operations and impact even after the end of the project. Firstly, the workshop will provide the opportunity to FP5 internal partners to present their current status of research, based on the 15 articulated projects identified as essential within FP5, along with a robust plan and timelines to contribute towards each activity described in the FP5's Motioning and Assessment Matrix. All the FP5 internal partners will discuss the progress of their proposed projects under the goals of FP5. The aim is to provide feedback, understand local needs and identify data needs/sources for generating pragmatic results with actual societal impact. Secondly, the invited external partners from both academia and agricultural/industrial organizations will assist in promoting the necessary interdisciplinary collaboration in order to holistically tackle challenges related: (i) agricultural supply network operations in India; and (ii) natural resources' appropriation in the Indian food sector. The resulting synergies with invited external partners are poised to unleash innovative potential that has been probably dormant due to the traditional myopic, isolated, approaches encountered both in academia and in practice. Thirdly, engagement with policy-makers aims to disseminate the value of TIGR2ESS's activities for Indian agriculture and establish communication channels with Punjab agri-strategy officials. Developing awareness about TIGR2ESS at the policy-makers level is deemed essential for ensuring support to TIGR2ESS activities and possible access to agri-sector stakeholders.

Results and Impact	Published by Food for thought: Towards a Greener Revolution We are a group of faculty members from Panjab University, Chandigarh who have teamed up to work as a part of a Global Challenges Research Fund project titled, ` Transforming India's Green Revolution by Research and Empowerment for Sustainable food Supplies' in short, `Tigr2ess' project. That is why we are called as PUTigr2ess! The main project has 6 focus areas but the thrust area of our work is towards `Impacting Well being in Rural and Urban Communities'. Heredity, environment, diet, lifestyle and socioeconomic factors determine the health and well being of a community. We are hoping to study the rural and urban communities of Punjab. In the background of theories of change, we are studying different aspects of education and empowerment that can improve lives leading to better nutrition, health and economic outcomes. Our project explores the areas of skill development, nutrition, communication needs and the relationships between these factors.

Results and Impact	The 2021 Budget was celebrated as a victory for rural healthcare schemes that have received increased allocations. However, Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) and anganwadi workers (AWW), who have been protesting across Indian states for the last few months, stand to gain little from these increments. These community health workers have been point-persons for rural communities to access key health services and benefits. ASHAs and AWWs have been going to extreme lengths to ensure that the households they serve are able to access State entitlements, raising the question of why their entitlements remain unrecognised.

Results and Impact	Abstract: Throughout modern history, humankind has witnessed an amazing increase in food availability, resulting in theoretically higher levels of food security. Despite these advancements, the burden of malnutrition globally is still overwhelming: studies show that 822 million people are undernourished, and that undernutrition is linked with almost half of child mortality globally.1 Inadequate access to food leads to metabolic stress and may result in multiple forms of malnutrition, namely child stunting and wasting, micronutrient deficiencies and overnutrition, often presenting in the same individuals at different stages of the life course.

Results and Impact	A panel of leading experts engaged with a lively audience of over 250 people to talk about all things bee-related at this energetic on-line event. 75% of those who responded to our audience survey said the event was fascinating and they had learnt a lot. The discussion focussed on how we can help pollinators and why this is important for our food supply. Lynn Dicks said that while many grain crops are wind-pollinated, a lot of fruit and veg isn't, so we need pollinators if we want to eat a varied and interesting diet; if we only ate doughnuts fried in lard, we wouldn't need pollinators at all! Dave Goulson talked about how helping bees starts in our own back gardens by providing more bee-friendly plants and being a bit messier. Tom Clarke told us about the Ely nature-friendly farming zone, and how they're managing their farms to encourage wildlife, which means leaving some very messy corners, perfect for bees to nest in. Hamish Symington told us about his bumble-bee training programme and gave fascinating insights into his research on making crops more bee-friendly to increase yields. The tensions between farmers, conservationists and bee-keepers were made clear, but all of our panellists called for tolerance and unity given the enormous challenge of feeding a growing global population.
