The Early Career Fellowship Programme run by Future Agricultures provides grants and mentoring to a small number of promising researchers who are investigating the politics of agricultural policy in Africa.

Early Career Fellows are required to produce publications as part of the programme, which support original field-based and policy-oriented research on African agricultural policy.

A list of some of the papers produced so far is shown below. This will be added to as more Fellows produce research papers and other outputs.
