Our Approach
Science
We are developing a portfolio of research that will help:
- Expand the knowledge base on how to build agrifood systems’ capacity to respond to complex challenges, such as climate change and non-communicable diseases
- Develop technical solutions for specific food system challenges priorities, for example, nature-based solutions to address water scarcity.
Impact
Working with partners, our pilot initiatives are building the capacity of food systems to address the challenges of:
- climate change impacts on agrifood systems
- resilience of agrifood systems to disasters and market shocks
- strengthening nutrition in food systems
- more sustainable agrifood systems.
Partnership
We are establishing new and strengthened collaborations at the regional and country level to connect across the agrifood system.
- In Australia, across government, university and other research institutions to coordinate and work on joint initiatives.
- In the Pacific, with SPC, SPREP and other international organisations active in the region.
- In our pilot activities (country level), with government, civil society, research and other organisations across multiple sectors, including agriculture, health and fisheries.
