- Impact Area

CGIAR’s Nature-Positive Solutions Initiative achieved wide-ranging and comprehensive results
in Kenya. Building on CGIAR’s community seed banks, NATURE+ established two aggregated
farms for cooperative permaculture, and rallied another community to implement nature-
positive solutions on their small farms. The Initiative rolled out an app that guides farmers on
native-tree reforestation and provides economic incentives for successful tree establishment.
All work areas established the conditions for continued research, collaboration, value-chain
development for neglected and underutilized crops, landscape restoration, circular
bioeconomic activity and policy engagement in CGIAR’s Research Portfolio 2025-2030.
