On behalf of the LANSA research consortium, may I thank you all enormously for contributing to a hugely interesting debate on the critical issue of sustainable farming systems for food and nutrition security. Contributions have been wide-ranging in both content and geographic focus and have demonstrated the impressive commitments and resolve of practitioners and researchers in this field.
As the COP23 meetings enter their second week in Bonn, it is clear that agriculture is becoming a critical focus area for policy makers. At this time more than ever, high quality research evidence is needed to support policy makers to make decisions about how to sustain national and global agricultural systems in an uncertain future.
The quality of the debate on this forum has encouraged me greatly that there is much excellent work underway. But the challenge is big and there is much still to do.
Thank you again.
