The Ukama Ustawi week of science and practice of scaling agri-food system innovation took place in Nairobi from 22 – 24 November 2022.

Food systems are major contributors to climate change and other environmental problems, such as land-use change and biodiversity loss, depletion of freshwater resources, and pollution of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems through nitrogen and phos

Agricultural research and development (R&D) investment is positively associated with high returns, but these returns take time—often decades—to develop.

FAO’s The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report (FAO et al. 2020) emphasizes the gradually increasing trend of hunger, measured by the prevalence of undernourishment, since 2014.

IFPRI’s 2021 Annual Report presents highlights from our research work around the world.

It is widely recognized that periods of crisis affect men and women differently, mediated by their access to resources and information, as well as social and institutional structures that may systematically disadvantage women from being able to ac

This paper explores outcome indicators and process principles to evaluate landscape resilience in agro-ecosystems, drawing on outcome indicator case studies of the CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE).

With adverse impacts of climate change growing in number and intensity, there is an urgent need to reduce emissions from food systems to net zero.

Despite enjoying strong economic growth in the last few decades, Southeast Asia still faces challenges to food security, with high levels of stunting across countries in the region.

The number of people experiencing food insecurity has increased for the third consecutive year, a worrying reversal of progress since the 1990s (FAO, 2020).

Agricultural research and development (R&D) investment is positively associated with high returns, but these returns take time—often decades—to develop.

While agriculture has been resilient to the health crisis in comparison with the service and industry sectors, the sector's resiliency is gradually being corroded by climate change, with lasting, harmful effects for agriculture and food systems

CGIAR’s digital extension services bridge the gap between the development and the adoption of new climate change adaptation strategies.

Climate change will have an impact on natural resources, water being one of them, affecting the availability of water including increasing the intensity of floods and droughts.

An urgent reconsideration of rural development is needed for achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Focusing on offsetting climate change impacts on hunger through investment in agricultural research, water management, and rural infrastructure in developing countries.

The global research consortium CGIAR is restructuring itself to build a more integrated global organization (“One CGIAR”) that fully leverages its strengths and refocuses its research strategy through 2030 in service of a renewed mission: End hung

Cutting-edge research informing policies, programs, and interventions to end hunger and poverty across the globe, including a special section on IFPRI’s analysis of the impacts of COVID-19.
 

This report summarizes a rapid assessment of climate-related challenges to food-, land- and water- systems across the six CGIAR regions.
