No 301973, 2019: Weathering the 'Perfect Storm' - Addressing the Agriculture, Energy, Water, Climate Change Nexus, 12-13 August 2019 from Crawford Fund

Abstract: While the challenges of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in low-income countries are immense, there are opportunities for significant advances and transformations, related to rising urban populations and changing food demands, digitalisation of the food sector, new ways of connecting farmers, and creative financial models. Climate risk management will need to be at the core of future initiatives. Several elements will need to come together to achieve the desired transformation, including meaningful policy and governance change, deepened private sector engagement with smallholders, and significant advances in digitalisation. Through such means, both adaptation and mitigation in agriculture can be tackled.
