Book (stand-alone)Global science–policy interfaces related to agrifood systems: a desktop review of structures and common patterns 2024
Also available in:
No results found.This background paper to the guidance that FAO is developing on strengthening science–policy interfaces (SPIs) for agrifood systems at the national level sets provides information about the structures and patterns common to global SPIs. It aims to: 1) provide a broad overview and comparison of how international SPIs work, 2) identify a set of categories that are relevant to the work of SPIs, 3) present a systematic, comparative analysis based on publicly available data, 4) draw preliminary conclusions based on findings, and 5) suggest further avenues for study. The conceptual framework identifies three key components of SPIs that, operating together, have the potential to anticipate and respond to needs and demands for both policy and science. Governance comprises the formal and informal rules and procedures for operation and integration among the numerous actors at the interface of science and policy. Co-production specifies the mechanisms by which diverse stakeholders and knowledge types are integrated and recognized in SPI activities. Learning represents the intention and capacity of the SPI to gain insights from what works and what does not work as it carries out its tasks. The findings show that across SPIs, patterning of the three components varies. -

As part of the FAO Science and Innovation Forum 2023 and in the framework of the FAO REU project “Reinforcing capacities in Science-Policy Interfaces”, the Regional Science & Innovation Week for Europe and Central Asia is organized during the 1-5 of October 2023. On this occasion, on October 3, 2023, the FAO Representation Office in the Kyrgyz Republic together with Kyrgyz National Agrarian University named after K. I. Skryabin plan to organize Science & Innovation Day. The Science & Innovation Day seeks to highlight the role of science and innovation at national and local levels to enable science- and evidence-based decision-making for accelerating the transformation to more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient agrifood systems. -
Book (stand-alone)National-level models to support the use of evidence in agrifood systems policy 2024
Also available in:
No results found.In the context of global challenges such as climate change, conflict and environmental crises, all of which are exacerbating poverty and hunger around the world, there is a need for urgent action informed by the best available science and evidence. This background paper to the guidance that FAO is developing on strengthening science–policy interfaces at the national level sets out to provide an overview of existing models and activities used for developing and operating science–policy systems and supporting the use of evidence, to transform global agrifood systems. Emphasis is placed on low- and middle-income countries, but examples from high-income countries are also included. Three high-level models are presented: the production-focused model, the policy-oriented model and the integrated model. Findings from the empirical cases and the evaluation data are distilled into lessons for strengthening each model, as well as suggesting ten priority recommendations for national science–policy engagement for agrifood systems.
