Governance and Policy Innovation in Agrifood Systems: Country experiences, tools and approaches
Striving to achieve the ambitious objective of fostering more efficient, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable agrifood systems—with the aim of improving production, nutrition, the environment, and quality of life for all—the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has organized a virtual event to gain valuable insights from stakeholders and partners who have implemented various tools and approaches in policy and governance innovation at the national level. This event will explore the tangible progress achieved, the challenges overcome, and the invaluable lessons learned from practical experiences in countries such as Cambodia, Indonesia, Malawi, and beyond.
During the event, IISD's Sean Woolfrey will share insights from IISD’s collaboration with FAO, the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), and Kiel University to pilot an innovative approach to food systems modelling to inform governance innovations for food systems transformation in Indonesia.
