The draft report provides an excellent starting point and is comprehensive in it's scope.  we have made detailed comments and suggestions in the attachment 

The importance of increasing yield both quantitatively in kilograms (or calories) and qualitatively (in nutritious value, providing not just calories but essential proteins, micronutrients and vitamins) deserves more attention. Supporting farmers to encourage implementation of innovations to improve current agricultural production systems is imperative.

Providing farmers with access to quality inputs, in particular fertilizers, and the knowledge to apply them efficiently and effectively over a long period of time is the first step enhancing economic and environmental sustainable food security.
