SIANI annual meeting brings together members to discuss how to contribute to shaping the dialogue around rights-based and sustainable food systems, and launch the new phase of SIANI, with the focus on transforming our food systems into more resilient and inclusive in times of recurring crises.

Presented by Dr. Caroline Delgado, Senior Researcher and Director of the Food, Peace and Security Programme at SIPRI. 

“Planting trees in Africa,” a common marketing slogan for climate compensation, ​​has become a popular way to offset carbon dioxide emissions. However, research shows that tree-planting projects often put too little focus on benefiting the people on site.

SIANI funds cross-sector working groups to support dialogue around food systems transformation.
