Your work in a nutshell: Have you developed a project or carried out research on a topic related to food and livelihoods?

Today, food production and agricultural systems are one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, a major driver of deforestation, and the greatest threat to biodiversity. It’s time to transform this problem into an opportunity to achieve more secure and nutritious food.
