Description
One of the objectives of the Science and Innovation Forum 2023 is to facilitate sharing experiences and lessons learned on implementing concrete solutions on the ground to step up climate action. There is a need to capitalize on win-win solutions, in which trade-offs and opportunities for efficiencies are effectively managed. The numerous opportunities for further innovation and collaboration must also be leveraged, for example public–private partnerships, knowledge sharing networks, and capacity building programmes. The session will highlight inspiring success stories of technologies and innovations at the crossroads of agrifood systems transformation and climate action. These success stories come from an FAO call soliciting illustrative country level case studies of agrifood system technologies and innovations for climate action in different regions. Following a review of the submissions, the most impactful, compelling and relevant case studies were selected. The selection of success stories aims to encompass and capture a broad range of technologies and innovations that are being used across all segments of agrifood systems. The case studies presented at the session will provide excellent examples of the technology/innovative solution(s) applied, obstacles and challenges encountered, factors for success as well as the impact that these technologies and innovations have made in people’s lives.
The session will also launch the second cohort of the FAO-IAFN Women Accelerator in Africa, with the Mentees showcasing how their businesses contribute to climate action.
