Advancing Food Systems Transformation: Dialogue between German Development Cooperation and CGIAR

At this important juncture in which Germany has a new government and CGIAR has announced its complete portfolio of One CGIAR initiatives, it is useful to identify joint research-for-development opportunities for collaboration between Germany and CGIAR, particularly given the growing food insecurity, malnutrition, and climate crisis.  A key area of deliberation will involve further improving the science-policy interface for research to better communicate and inform agricultural policies, strategies, and implementation toward sustainable food system transformation in the face of multiple crises at country, regional, and global levels.

This webinar focuses on the importance of international food systems research and the science-policy interface for advancing key actions in Germany’s strategic directions for agriculture and food and in One CGIAR strategy and initiatives. It will showcase CGIAR’s work and contributions to Germany’s international cooperation in the area of agriculture, food systems, and food security, and will identify joint priorities, opportunities, and entry points for collaboration given Germany’s strategic directions and One CGIAR’s initiatives.
