Future of new @FTA_Partnership discussed this evening at side event at #worldagroforestrycongress. More engagement anticipated with academic institutions such as @ubcforestry among others? We hope so!
#Blog: Huge potential for sustainability with natural #rubber, experts say. This incredible species could help smallholders mitigate and adapt to climate change while sustaining 40 million livelihoods.

💡 #Innovation spotlight
The Agroforestry Switchboard 2.0 is a “one-stop-shop” to retrieve data about a particular plant species across a wide range of information sources. It especially supports research on trees and tree-based development activities⤵️

Safeguarding genetic resources is vital to ensure #climate resilience, #livelihoods and #FSN. FTA has worked 10 years improving the #diversity and genetic quality of tree seeds and seedlings that are supplied to farmers, foresters and others.

#Blog: researchers have developed a software package that can help predict how trees and other organisms will change genetically because of #climatechange. It can ultimately assist farmers in breeding and selecting hardier crop species.

#New #FTAPartnership logo:
🍃 The tree outline has a double meaning, representing the path towards achieving the #SDGs with forests, trees and agroforestry
🍃The veins on the leaf backdrop represent the interconnectivity of a partnership network
Stay tuned for more updates!
Global collaboration to achieve the #SDGs requires partnerships with at least 4 categories of actors:
🗺️ Regional or thematic alliances
🎓 Universities
🔬 National-level R4D actors
🤝 Local actors/NGOs/CSOs
#FTAPartnership's members are now discussing engagement strategies.
"We have a strong base to constitute a new #FTAPartnership," said Vincent Gitz at a @CIFOR-@ICRAF #ScienceWeek2022 event. Together, the partners will engage in
✔️ Knowledge and solutions generation
✔️Evidence-based advocacy
✔️Operational engagement with stakeholders
👀 And more

#Publication: In Indonesia, an integrated Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) approach has been proposed as one solution to address degraded lands. However, land competition is fierce. Discover opportunities and challenges for #policy integration.

"#ClimateChange cannot be separated from #FoodInsecurity, loss of #Biodiversity and #Pollution...Farmers have neither the means nor the tools and resources, more investment is needed and farmers know what to do!"

Follow @ICRAF's coverage of #ScienceWeek2022 in the thread below ⤵️. These sessions bring @CIFOR-@ICRAF staff together to share their insights and research for addressing key global challenges.
How to achieve food & nutrition security?
▪️A bold transformation of food systems is urgently needed.
▪️Critical policy shifts are needed to support sustainable food Systems.
▪️Diversity, coordination and strong scientific agenda are needed to support these goals

Soil health is crucial for tackling #food insecurity, #climatechange, & building resilience, yet each year it becomes further degraded.
@ca4sh_global advocates for multi-stakeholder action for scaling up global mechanisms to address #soil health globally.
