    Project
    Strengthening Integrated Agrifood Research and Innovation Systems Around the World - GCP/GLO/047/EC 2024
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    Agrifood systems (AFS) have an impact upon most aspects of the SDGs, yet agrifood research and innovation systems have limited and usually isolated success in affecting the livelihoods of men and women in resource-poor rural communities and of smallholder farmers around the world. With population, hunger and malnutrition all increasing, together with persistent inequality and unemployment, these limitations are increasingly becoming a cause for concern. The Global Forum for Agricultural Research and Innovation (GFAR) is a global platform of and for approximately 1 000 institutional members from 13 constituencies that aims to achieve an integrated multistakeholder approach to agrifood research and innovation.The objective of the project was to mobilize, develop and mentor innovative and inclusive multistakeholder approaches to support members in their efforts to devise and implement integrated and improved science-based solutions to shared challenges, while managing the effects of climate change, bringing solutions to scale and contributing to the achievement of the SDGs.

    The XIV World Forestry Congress (WFC) delivers a strong message: global challenges require increased efforts to better manage land by integrating forests and other land uses. Why is better integration of forests and other land uses essential? What barriers on the ground must be overcome to simultaneously increase agricultural output and boost the productive and protective functions of forests? How can policymakers, the private sector, stakeholders and researchers contribute to a more integrated and sustainable approach to land use? This brief explains how these questions were addressed at the World Forestry Congress in South Africa in 2015. It aims to stimulate discussion as well as collaborative and crosssectoral planning and action at the landscape scale.
