This Policy Brief presents a proposal based on an extensive review of bibliographic sources and structured interviews, as part of a study on the reference year for voluntary deforestation-free commitments in the Peruvian Amazon. Subsequently, the information has been validated through two consultation workshops with key stakeholders, including decision makers from the public and private sectors and associations representative of the cacao, oil palm, and coffee value chains, as well as civil society stakeholders.

The recent discourse on food sovereignty places much emphasis on democracy in determining localized food systems, and whether the food is culturally appropriate while leaning heavily on sustainable agricultural practices such as organic agriculture, ecological intensification, agroecology, naturebased

Modern food systems push agriculture to focus on a small number of commercial crops, while there is a very large diversity of untapped edible plants that could be used to address food security and nutrition. Poor and monotonous diets are closely linked to the complex burden of multiple forms of malnutrition and dietary risk. In some contexts, such as West Africa, micronutrient deficiency risks are particularly pronounced. Hence, there is an urgent need to provide people with healthy diets supported by sustainable food systems.

The strategic goal of this strategy and the communication supported therein, is to draw attention to the importance of rangelands (and rangeland communities) and their protection and restoration. This will be done through a coordinated effort by ILRI working with international and national partners as part of ILRI’s global livestock for advocacy development (GLAD) work), engaging mainly outside the livestock sector to improve investments and decisions.

"This report summarizes preliminary results from fieldwork research conducted in Kenya between September and October 2022. It is meant to expand our comprehension of climate-related security risks in Kenya, by examining the way local communities capitalise on everyday experience to develop a shared understanding around the effects of climate change over their livelihoods and wellbeing, along with the insecurity problems they collectively face. Ongoing community-level responses are also discussed,

The Association for Strengthening Agricultural Research in Eastern and Central Africa (ASARECA) recognizes the critical role that the private sector, research organizations, farmer organizations, policy makers, extension workers and media play in scaling up and commercialization of climaterelevant TIMPs. However, the adoption and use of several new agricultural technologies by

At the start of the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030), the restoration of degraded ecosystems is more than ever a global priority. Tree planting will make up a large share of the ambitious restoration commitments made by countries around the world, but careful planning is needed to select species and seed sources that are suitably adapted to present and future restoration site conditions and that meet the restoration objectives.

The digital ecosystem and its actors have increasing influence over how food is produced, what food people buy, and the flow of information among farmers, supply chain actors, and consumers. Efforts to transform food systems towards sustainability, including climate change resilience and mitigation, similarly rely on digital resources and offer the opportunity to scale up best practices rapidly at low cost.
