In this episode we are joined by Herman Brouwer, Senior Advisor on multi-stakeholder collaboration at the Wageningen Centre for Development Innovation (WCDI).
Herman explains the pillars of agrifood systems sustainability, discusses the concept of agrifood systems transformation and the importance of multi-stakeholders' processes, and shares some of the key learning from the publication ‘National processes shaping food systems transformations –Lessons from Costa Rica, Ireland and Rwanda’ (accessible here: doi.org/10.4060/cb6149en).

In conversation with Herman Brouwer, Advisor at WCDI

Humankind is facing a perfect storm of climate change, biodiversity loss, and multiple forms of malnutrition coexisting in the same country, community, household, and even individual. These challenges are well known, but what seems to be missing is a recognition that food is at the centre of all three of these issues. Let’s explore the nexus between climate change, biodiversity and nutrition.

The power of agrifood systems

Water is life, water is food. 
Leave no one behind. 
Water is essential to life on Earth. It covers the majority of the Earth's surface, makes up over 50% of our bodies, produces our food, and supports livelihoods.  

But this precious resource is not infinite and we need to stop taking it for granted. What we eat, and how that food is produced all affect water. 

Together, we can take water action for food and be the change.

1. Putting information within reach.
2. Sharing policy expertise.
3. Providing a meeting place for nations.
4. Bringing knowledge to the field.
