Investing in agriculture to feed Asia securelyGCARD Conferences

This document discusses investing in agriculture to ensure food security in Asia. It outlines that Asia faces challenges of growing food demand and persistent food insecurity despite economic growth. The Asian Development Bank's priorities to address this include increasing productivity and reducing losses, improving market connectivity, enhancing food safety and quality, and improving natural resource management. Investment highlights from the ADB include projects to enhance productivity through crop diversification and market access in Nepal and Bangladesh. It also discusses delivering sustainable resource use through water saving technology in China, building climate resilience through food-water-energy projects in Cambodia, Lao PDR and Myanmar, and promoting financial inclusion and agribusiness through SME financing in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

GCARD2: Briefing paper land, water forests & landscape GCARD Conferences

The adaptation and adoption of conservation agriculture (CA)-based crop management through innovative techniques like reduced soil movement, adequate surface retention of crop residues and economically viable and diversified crop rotations are the way forward to address the emerging challenges mentioned above. This could help in ensuring sustainable food security and offer several environmental benefits in sustainable way. This is relatively a new strategy to deal with food security and environmental degradation in unfavourable agriculture system.

The Rice Bown Index: Using Open Data to help drive sustainable and robust foo...GCARD Conferences

The document introduces the Rice Bowl Index, which aims to harness knowledge to make agriculture more sustainable and the world more food secure. It does this by distilling vast amounts of public data and information on food security into a concise index. The index evaluates four categories - farm-level capabilities, policy and trade environment, environmental capacity, and future demand and price trends - to identify both challenges and opportunities for concrete actions to improve food security in Asia. The ultimate goal is to facilitate an evidence-based, multi-stakeholder dialogue that shifts the focus from problems to solutions.

F2.2. From foresight to research programmingGCARD Conferences

Marion Guillou is the chair of the Board of Agreenium, a French public scientific cooperation body that conducts research and higher education in agriculture, food, animal health, and the environment. Agreenium uses foresight processes to anticipate challenges and opportunities through scenario building and collecting weak signals to imagine multiple futures in a complex world. Its Agrimonde and Agrimonde Terra foresight exercises explored sustainability and uncertainty in global food systems and land use to inform research priorities and programming at institutions like INRA. Foresight helps address interconnected global issues but requires considering alternative perspectives and acknowledging uncertainties in predicting the future.
