Gender relations in households and communities play a formative role in how tenure rights — such as access to, use, and management of land and various natural resources — are practiced across multifunctional landscapes.
Governance refers to how decisions and rules, as well as decision-making rules, are made and by whom.
Collaborative international research on tenure dates back at least to the early 1960s when the Land Tenure Centre was established at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and conducted some studies in collaboration with CGIAR social scientists.
Countries of the global South have rich natural ecosystems, but many poor people. Africa south of the Sahara, for example, contains about half of the earth’s uncultivated land. Forests cover approximately 22 percent of Latin America.
Empowerment (https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-7660.00125) is the process by which people gain the ability to make strategic choices in their lives and to act upon them, when they previously could n
Agricultural production is both strongly affected by climate change and a major contributor to climate change, with agriculture and land-use change accounting for about one fifth of total global greenhouse gas emissions – more than for transport o
Digitally enabled food value chains and plant breeding programmes can improve resilience to agricultural productivity fluctuations and food insecurity.
Climate change represents a rapidly emerging challenge for central banks, particularly in developing economies.
According to the OECD’s recently released 2021 Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evaluation Report, governments of some 54 countries provide transfers to agriculture totaling about $720 billion annually.
An overarching goal of the CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM) has been to influence policy outcomes in ways that lead to agricultural transformation and economic inclusion.
Inclusive and efficient value chains: Highlights, lessons learned, and priorities for one CGIAR
At the start of CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets (PIM) Phase 2 in 2017, and later during the priority-setting round in 2019, each of the PIM research areas (‘flagships’) formulated key research questions they aimed to
By 2050, the United Nations projects that 68 percent of the world population will live in cities (UN DESA 2019).
This brief looks at food system innovations and digital technologies as important drivers of productivity growth and improved food and nutrition security.
What are the drivers and consequences of tenure insecurity?
What are the key drivers of change in agrifood systems? What challenges do these drivers present to achievement of sustainable food and nutrition security at global, regional, and national scales?
How do social protection programs influence agricultural growth and nutrition, and what are the implications of this for program design?
