FSD7 Webinars 2021 > Webinar 1

Systemic transformation of the agri-food systems under climate, water, and planetary constraints: an insight into the opportunities and pathways for transformation and implementation

22 March 2021: 10:00AM to 12:00PM (GMT+2)

Chaired by Jacques Wery (ICARDA, Egypt) and Rabi Mohtar (AUB, Lebanon)

Session objectives

Webinar 1 aims to discuss opportunities and pathways to implement development projects in the drylands of Africa and Asia, recognizing that approaches based on a single technology (e.g. new varieties) a single commodity (e.g. wheat) or a single resource (e.g. water) are not sufficient to achieve a sustainable transformation of agri-food systems and synergies between  SDG1 (no poverty) and SDG2 (no hunger) under climate change and within planet boundaries. The role of systems research for a systemic transformation in development projects will be discussed based on examples of action research, systems modelling and participatory research in different regions.
