Collectives are viewed as agents for women's economic empowerment in the Agrifood System through
collective action. Globally, women constitute about 36% of employed people in AFS and almost half of
the workforce in the food processing and services sector. As such, empowering women in the agrifood
systems is a vital prerequisite for fostering a fair and peaceful world as well as enhancing women’s
income and wellbeing. This review explores how collectives can empower vulnerable and often landless

Food security is one of the most important strategic issues for all countries, as it represents an integral part of their national security. For this purpose, all countries all over the world aim to achieve food security for their citizens to ensure the political independence and well-being of their citizens.

This study used a landscape approach to investigate the climate and environment and the links between
current fish feed ingredients and their potential as novel sources of fish feed in the three project countries
of Kenya, Nigeria and Zambia. The objective was to analyze the climate and environment in relation to local ingredients and current feeds and to identify opportunities for FASA to harness the environment within
the novel fish feed landscape and prevailing climatic and environmental conditions in Kenya, Nigeria and

This brief emphasizes CGIAR's commitment to integrating scientific research into the development of climate resilient strategies. It underlines the imperative of aligning these strategies with an intricate web of local, regional, and global climate finance objectives. Central to CGIAR's advocacy is the strategic utilization of scientific research in policy, innovative finance and investment decisions to augment and strategically direct climate finance for maximal impact.

Shifting and intensifying migration flows are causing profound changes in household structures, livelihood portfolios, and rural landscapes worldwide. Yet, migration trends, including who migrates within the household, whether migration is permanent or temporary, and the relationship the migrant maintains (or not) with the household, have strong geographic particularities.

Climate information services (CIS) are critical for making important decisions in agriculture in order to assess and manage risks associated with climate change and climate variability. The partnership between RUFORUM and IRI aims to develop and increase accessibility of climate information services curricula for training in African universities as well as ensure utilization of among key stakeholders in agriculture such as extension workers and farmers. The CIS for agriculture is piloted to increase awareness and adoption of climate relevant curricula in African Universities.

Despite the functioning of tomato production in the financial and nutritional healthy living of most farm families in Ghana, the effects of climate variations on tomato production via the outbreak of tomato pest is generally understudied. Thus, this study aims to explain the effects of climate variation on tomato crops via the outbreak of tomato pests using structural equation modeling (SEM). The profile of the study regions involved the Ashanti Region (AR), Bono Region (BR), and Upper East Region (UER).

The detrimental impact of hydro-meteorological risks on agriculture frequently leads to food insecurity, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Policy-makers should, therefore, adopt suitable policies that reduce the consequences of hydro-meteorological hazards on communities and economies. Moreover, there is an urgent need for timely and targeted climate-related knowledge, information, and solutions to help decision-makers prevent climate-related losses and maximize benefits.

Land has historically been a focal point of conflict, especially in Fragile and Conflict-affected Settings (FCS), where disputes over forests and land use often intersect with broader socio-political dynamics, including unfair resource allocation, marginalization, and governance challenges. Factors such as climate change, population growth, and urbanization are anticipated to intensify these conflicts in the coming decades.
