Lessons learned from Latin America and the Caribbean for the sustainable and inclusive transformation of agrifood systems
The initiative, part of the activities carried out by the Networks for Agri-Food Transformation project and supported financially by Canada’s IDRC, aims to establish a set of lessons learned and strategies to promote more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient agri-food systems in Latin America. Additionally, it seeks to foster South-South learning to inform similar processes in Africa and Asia, drawing from the region’s experiences and lessons learned. The project’s specific objectives include mapping initiatives, gathering evidence, and identifying key actors related to agroecology in the region, as well as recommending research topics and pinpointing entry points to advance a research agenda in this field.
Learning study on the relationship between environmental degradation, climate change and human rights
The project aims to design and develop a learning study on the relationship between environmental degradation, climate change, and human rights. This process consists of five stages, beginning with an in-depth understanding of these relationships through a literature review and documentary analysis. This is followed by a validation process using primary sources and a targeted approach, ultimately leading to the creation of a training module aimed at strengthening the knowledge and capacities of individuals, communities, and civil society organizations in adapting to climate change as a measure of self-protection or collective protection. The literature review helps identify key variables and dimensions for focusing on two subregions, where a case study will be conducted to contextualize and explore relevant content for training processes. These municipalities are Tibú, in Norte de Santander, and San Vicente del Caguán, in Caquetá. Beyond examining the relationship between these variables, the learning study also aims to contribute to institutional and community-based protection mechanisms against climate change vulnerability in the context of armed conflict.
