CGIAR is the world’s largest global agricultural innovation network. We provide evidence to policy makers, innovation to partners, and new tools to harness the economic, environmental and nutritional power of agriculture.
In the Amazon, the word "food" almost never refers only to food. Sometimes it's a fish that arrives when the river rises and overflows. Sometimes it's a cassava that is saved from flooding. Sometimes it's a bunch of plantain that holds out for a few more weeks, or a long walk to find what the bush still offers.
