In the global push to finance and scale nature-positive transitions in food systems, the conversation often revolves around capital, who pays for it and who receives it. But the real challenge goes deeper. Mobilizing funds is fundamental, but it’s not the only part of the equation. What matters just as much is ensuring that finance is aligned with national
Researchers from the Alliance’s Artemis project developed mobile AI tools and farmer feedback systems in Tanzania and Colombia to transform how crop breeding responds to real-world smallholder needs. Across the Global South, crop breeding programs face a recurring challenge: the gap between improved varieties developed in research stations and the realities of smallholder farms. This mismatch is a byproduct
From June 9–13, scientists gathered to share ideas and innovations at Science Week: The Alliance’s annual event to exchange knowledge and accelerate collaboration around food systems research. This year’s conference took place in Vientiane, Laos, where the Alliance has a strong research and field presence. In this recap, we invite you to explore the emerging topics covered and hear from
Clarivate/Web of Science has recognized the Alliance scientist Christophe Béné as a Highly Cited Researcher for the third year in a row. Highly Cited Researchers have demonstrated significant and broad influence in their field of research, in this case cross-field. This is well-deserved recognition for a scientist whose work is notable for being bold, direct, accurate, innovative, and comprehensive. Some
To build healthier food systems, we need better food data. A new research shows where the gaps are—and how innovations like PTFI are helping to close them. In today’s world, we hear a lot about what we eat: more vegetables, less sugar, local and sustainable, nutrient-rich. But there’s a fundamental question most people don’t think about—how do we actually know
The term NDC has become increasingly relevant in the context of climate change.
