The Long-term EU-AU Research and Innovation Partnership for Food and Nutrition Security and Sustainable Agriculture (LEAP4FNSSA) is a Coordination and Support Action (CSA). The main objective of the project is to provide a tool for European and African institutions to engage in a Sustainable Partnership Platform for research and innovation on Food and Nutrition Security, and Sustainable Agriculture (FNSSA). Work Package 3 (WP3) of the project aims to provide the core information system for the partnership platform. In this context, the PRETORIA lexicon is proposed and integrated into the KEOPS software. The PRETORIA lexicon based on 8 concepts dealing with the food security domain is the result of a brainstorming organised in the context of a workshop organised in Pretoria.
