The goal is to ensure the attainment of a middle-income status in the year 2025 for a better life for all Ethiopians. In these endeavors, it is intended that rural and poor communities should have access to innovations, attain food security, and have accelerated status of development. It is also planned to provide new and more effective solutions to problems than those utilised previously in the overall national development efforts. Given the broad nature of this theme, priority will be given to basic, applied, and development research in the areas of agriculture, environmental and natural resources, climate change, agro-pastoralism, veterinary medicine, land use management, and<\/span><\/p>","text_color":"#000000","typography_typography":"custom","typography_font_family":"Times New Roman"},"elements":[],"widgetType":"text-editor"}],"isInner":false}],"isInner":false},{"id":"x9agwve","elType":"section","settings":[],"elements":[{"id":"dhj3g2n","elType":"column","settings":{"_column_size":100,"_inline_size":null},"elements":[{"id":"hgiirbf","elType":"widget","settings":{"editor":"<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><u><a href=\"http:\/\/localhost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Theme-1-Description-1.pdf\">For details, click here\u00a0<\/a><\/u><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/localhost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Theme-I-2018-19-Research-Priority-Areas.pdf\">Research priorities 2018<\/a><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/localhost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-Theme-I-Priority-research-areas.pdf\"><u>Research priorities 2017<\/u><\/a><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/localhost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2016-Theme-I-Priority-research-areas.pdf\"><u>Research priorities 2016<\/u><\/a><\/span><\/p>"},"elements":[],"widgetType":"text-editor"}],"isInner":false}],"isInner":false}]
