water management
Through its innovative operations, and its facilitation of dynamic

communities of researchers, development experts, policy makers,

producers and consumers, this CGIAR Challenge Program goes

beyond research for development as usually practiced.

Yet, paradoxically for a program well-versed in technical and

Cependant, les investissements pourraient avoir des conséquences positives si les objectifs des acheteurs de terres et les besoins en matière d’investissements des pays en développement étaient réconciliés.

forest land
Forests, trees and woodlands cover almost one-third of the Earth’s land area. They are a crucial source of food and income for more than a billion people around the globe. They provide a variety of wood and non-wood products and vital ecosystem services – preventing erosion from wind and water, preserving water quality, shading crops and livestock, absorbing carbon which contributes to countering climate change, and providing habitat for many species of plants and animals, thus helping to conserve the planet’s biological diversity.
