Agriculture is fundamental to all three pillars of sustainability, environment, society, and economy. However, the definition of sustainable agriculture and the capacities to measure it remain elusive.

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.

The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030) frames restoration as a momentous nature-based solution for achieving many of the ecological, economic, and social objectives outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals.

Rethinking food system policies in terms of “eco-agro-food systems” can help to foster an integrated approach that will maintain and restore vital ecosystem services and reduce the likelihood of future shocks.

"Water for all" is an important concept embedded in Sustainable Development Goal 6 on Water and Sanitation. However, implementation does not currently target differential access for women and marginalised people.

Despite resulting biodiversity losses, agricultural intensification is key for future food security and slowing expansion of cropland and pasture.  

Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and the pledge of the 2030 Agenda to leave no one behind requires collaborative ways of working, such accelerating and scaling cross-sectoral action and policy coherence.

Women’s empowerment is a process that includes increases in intrinsic agency (power within); instrumental agency (power to); and collective agency (power with).

Irrigation has been, and will remain, instrumental in addressing water security (Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6), food insecurity (SDG 2) and poverty (SDG 1) goals.

Given the need for valid measures of women’s empowerment to monitor SDG5 and design advantages of pro-WEAI, an assessment of its measurement properties is warranted.

Examining developments in global agricultural production systems, climate change, and food security using IFPRI's IMPACT model.

Water and nutrition are linked in multiple ways, but few of these interlinkages are well understood. What is, for example, the exact relationship between water pollution and health or between water resource management and nutrition?

The Bridge Collaborative is a global change agent driving a fundamental shift in how we think, plan, fund and work across sectors to make bigger change faster.

The strong linkages to food security and the environment place biomass energy at the heart of sustainable development.
