With annual food imports exceeding USD 1.1 billion and rising, and climate change impacts and urbanization intensifying, there's an urgent need for innovative solutions. The AgriTech4Kenya Innovation Challenge aims to address these issues by fostering science-based agri-tech innovations that are localized within the national context and driven by market demand. By bridging the gap between research and market adoption, the initiative supports sustainability, resilience, and efficiency in Kenya’s agriculture. On April, 16, 2024, a high-consultation workshop brought together key stakeholders to explore the agri-tech innovation landscape in Kenya.Item CircularEconomy4Colombia: Bootcamp Highlight(Video, 2025-02-03) CGIAR Accelerate for Impact PlatformThe CircularEconomy4Colombia Innovation Challenge is an initiative aimed supporting Colombia’s transition to a circular economy within the agri-food sector.

Published in El Espectador, a national-wide newspaper in ColombiaItem Informing food system transformation with foresight: Partners adopting the use of foresight and metrics tools(Video, 2024-04) Mohan, Anisha; Anisimova, Evgeniya; Wolday, TsegaBetter-informed national policy choices – Governments and other decision makers in at least five countries contribute to and use foresight analysis to better reflect climate and other risks in policy dialogues and decision-making, including policies and investments designed to make food, land, and water systems more resilient, while recognizing synergies and trade-offs with other goals relating to nutrition, livelihoods, equity, and the environment. The videos are the result of three years established partnership with technical partners in three regions and six countries. The videos showcase on how the partnership established over the years have yielded the outcome expected. Together with these partners we have co-created and scaled our tools that are now widely used by the partners. In April 2024, the CGIAR Initiative on Foresight and the Institute for Integrated Development Studies (IIDS, Nepal) held the Foresight Partnership Forum and Training in Kathmandu, Nepal. The four-day event brought together key Initiative partners from across Asia, Africa, and Latin America to share insights on the multifaceted challenges affecting food, land, and water systems and strengthen local foresight and policy modeling capacity. During the event, we interviewed the Foresight Initiative partners from Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, and South Africa and asked them to answer two questions: “Why did you join the Foresight Initiative and how is this partnership helping you in addressing the food systems issues in your countries?” and “How is the use of Foresight models helping you in advancing/informing strategies in your country?” *The letter of agreements with our partners can be available upon request.Item Conoce proyecto EPINER "Construcción de Paz Ambiental para mejorar la nutrición y reducir emisiones"(Video, 2025-01-15) Yomayuza, Karoll Valentina#EPINER busca desarrollar sistemas alimentarios resilientes y de bajas emisiones integrando estrategias de construcción de paz para un desarrollo sostenible a largo plazo.

Mucuna in banana and coffee systems can also reduce weed burden, improving the quality of life for women and children who provide most of the labor for weeding. This video captures success stories of using Mucuna as a cover crop on station and on farm in eastern DR Congo and will serve as a tool for transforming the mindset of farmers during scaling of the innovation. The video will also be regularly updated to capture new success stories and case studies.Item Empowering Women and Men Vegetable Farmers with Lersha Digital Platform - HER+ initiative, Ethiopia(Video, 2024-09) Nchanji, Eileen; Cosmas, Lutomia; Ketema, DessalegnCGIAR's Gender Equality initiative (HER+) work package Empower is working with Green agro solutions to integrate social innovations through the Lersha digital platorm for increased empowerment, resilience, income and food security.

The water–energy–food–ecosystems (WEFE) nexus approach is a multi-disciplinary perspective to address complex resource and development challenges that underpin the Sustainable Development Goals. This approach offers a holistic and integrated framework for managing resources in the face of a pluri-dimensional crisis (climate, biodiversity, conflict, degradation etc.) which has profound impacts on water, energy, and food resources. The Women in Water Diplomacy Network, the Stockholm International Water Institute, the Environmental Law Institute, in collaboration with the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, through the CGIAR Initiative on NEXUS Gains, co-convened an online experience-sharing workshop to highlight the efforts of researchers and academicians related to WEFE nexus issues, and shine light on the experiences of women diplomats in WEFE sectors. Held on July 31, 2024, the event also explored the dynamic context where water diplomacy, entrepreneurship, research, and innovation can merge to catalyze sustainable development. Speakers included Claudia Ringler, International Food Policy Research Institute; Farwa Aamer, Asia Society Policy Institute; Julienne Ndjiki (Ngo Yebga), Stockholm International Water Institute; Marlène Elias, Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT; Nompumelelo Ntshalintshali-Motsa, Women in Water Diplomacy; Tumaini Mwamyalla, Nile Basin Initiative; Yodit Balcha, Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT.Item A journey through adolescents' food environments in Vietnam: Introductory video(Video, 2024-08-16) Nguyen, Hong Duong; Even, Brice Gerard Jean Luc; Nabuuma, Deborah Sandra; Thai, Hang Thi MinhThis video provides a brief overview of our research on adolescents' food environments in Vietnam, offering a glimpse into the participatory videos created by the adolescents themselves.
