A Scoping Study Looking at the Research Gaps in Upstream Subsystems of Home Grown School Feeding Programmes in Africa

Home Grown School Feeding (HGSF) programs have made a significant impact by reaching over 64.5 million children in more than 46 countries across Africa. While the benefits for children are well-documented, the effects on farmers, communities, and the environment remain underexplored.

This scoping study addresses these gaps and highlights the need for greater investment, coordination, and a unified understanding of HGSF approaches to drive sustainable change across the continent.
