Pretoria, South Africa HSRC Recruitment Full time

**Job Advert Summary**:
The Developmental, Capable, and Ethical State (DCES) is a research division within the HSRC and employs a multi-disciplinary group of social scientists who conduct numerous empirical and policy-related studies. The DCES Division was recently awarded a project on the _Identification of Smart Urban Agriculture/Agro-processing solutions and assessing the feasibility to address food security challenges in the City of Johannesburg (CoJ)_.

The DCES division is looking to appoint a suitably qualified professional to take on the position of a Financial Modelling Specialist on a Freelance Contract.

The overall objective of the CoJ study is to identify smart urban agriculture/agro-processing solutions, conduct a feasibility study on investing in innovative and smart urban agriculture technologies, and recommend options and selection criteria for prioritising these options to improve food security in the City of Johannesburg. In line with the 4th Industrial Revolution, the study will establish a range of initiatives including but not limited to the development of a commercially viable and productive agricultural sector, employing innovative technologies such as rooftop gardens, vertical gardens, and aquaponics systems to address food insecurity in the city of Johannesburg. Lack of investment has been identified as the major underlying reason why the City of Johannesburg is a net food-importing region. The proposed study will identify new technologies that will improve infrastructure, increase productivity and affect domestic investments in production.

The proposed research design for the study is exploratory research design while the conceptual framework will adopt the principles of the Value Chain Analysis and Mapping; Measurement of Food and Nutrition Security Indicators; and Economic Analysis, Affordability Assessment and Value for Money Analysis.
