Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition (FSN Forum)

Climate change is having a devastating effect on many of the world’s agrifood systems and the communities that rely on them for their livelihoods. This compendium contains summaries of forty case studies, from a total of over two hundred submitted to FAO for the Science and Innovation Forum 2023, that describe innovative efforts that have been made to address some of the challenges arising from climate change. The cases described are from low and middle income countries but climate change affects agriculture in its broadest sense, irrespective of the region where it is practised. Case studies were received from all regions and selection for inclusion was based on several important criteria – equity, adversity, innovativeness and the extent to which a case addressed problems experienced by women and youth.

This Compendium is based on the call for submissions "Case studies of agrifood system technologies and innovations for climate action: Call for proposals for the FAO Science and Innovation Forum 2023" that were hold on the Global Forum of Food Security and Nutrition from 29.05.2023 to 24.06.2023.
