Abstract

Convergent innovation (CI) for food, refers to the point of convergence of food, targets for sustainable development, and affordable healthcare. The article describes this “sweet spot” in terms of: what consumers want; what they need for vitality and health; what they can and want to pay; what the planet can offer sustainably; and what the agriculture and food sectors produce in a cost-effective and profitable manner. A CI for food webinar series has been developed, with features on legumes, pulses and plant breeding; part of a scaling up strategy to accelerate what pulses can contribute as food solutions to sustainable development.
