Annual Report 2023: Enabling resilience and sustainability in food systems

How the Alliance contributed to enhancing food systems in 2023

Resilience throughout our work 

We all felt the effects of the climate crisis firsthand in 2023, the hottest year on record. Conflict and climate change-induced shocks put vulnerable people at greater risk, underscoring the need for transformative food systems that can empower communities and institutions to be resilient: to build their capacity to adapt, and flourish.

Agrobiodiversity

A cornerstone of resilient food systems is sustainable use of agrobiodiversity. From trees to seeds, we aim to ensure that diverse plant genetic resources, crop species and varieties, and complex food production systems are supplying tangible benefits to farmers and consumers.
