Amid the growing geopolitical pressures and persistent climate change-induced challenges affecting food systems across the Asia Pacific, the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT continues to steer regional conversations seeking to achieve food and nutrition security by fast-tracking transitions toward regenerative agriculture.
Scientists say yes. But the food system has to change. Geopolitical conflicts are disrupting lives, economies, and access to food. Most recently, supply chain interruptions threaten to cut off millions of farmers’ access fertilizers, and consumers’ immediate and long-term access to food. In fragile contexts, these disruptions compound with climate risks to exacerbate root causes of tensions and conflict.
From February 24th to 26th, the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development in Kenya, in collaboration with the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, hosted a workshop at the KALRO Headquarters, Kiboko, to validate and refine a Nature-Based Solutions Monitoring and Evaluation Framework tool, developed under the Initiative for Climate Action Transparency project.
Lorem through research and innovation, CGIAR aims to address these challenges and contribute to collective global targets for Climate Adaptation and Mitigation:
