Livestock Resources for Food Security in the Light of Climate Change
What is climate friendly food? That is the question that me and my fellow students asked when we started to work on a project for one of the agronomy course at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. The project was about modifying commonly cooked recipes so they have lower carbon footprint.
Despite certain progress in recent years a large proportion of the world’s rural population, especially in low and middle-income countries, still does not have statutory recognized rights to the agricultural land and other natural resources they have been using for generations and on which they depend for their livelihoods.
The seminar "Zero Hunger in a Changing Climate" was arranged by Sida in cooperation with the Swedish International Agriculture Network Initiative (SIANI) and the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI).
Together with a variety of stakeholders, including top researchers in the field of nutrition, the Global Nutrition Report brings forth a number of recommendations and tips on how to improve nutrition policy at a country level.
The 2015 Paris Climate Conference, COP21, and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development provided the context for the third Annual SIANI meeting, where the SDGs in particular became the recurring theme in many presentations and discussions.
SIANI is currently being evaluated by an evaluation team consisting of Bo Tengnäs , Mats Denninger and Anna Tengnäs. The purpose is to evaluate the ongoing SIANI 2 and assist the secretariat and the steering committee to outline the next phase of the SIANI network development.
