FROM RESEARCH TO IMPACT: TOWARDS JUST AND RESILIENT AGRI-FOOD SYSTEMS
As Itanya Africa Group, we were invited to attend the conference "FROM RESEARCH TO IMPACT: TOWARDS JUST AND RESILIENT AGRI-FOOD SYSTEMS" to present our abstract on "The Role of Gender in shaping adaptive and transforming capacities for building resilience." The conference was co organized by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and the CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform from 09th - 12th October 2023 in New Delhi, India. This conference addressed the gender and social inequalities at the heart of food systems and aimed to promote the sharing of cutting-edge knowledge on gender and inclusion in food systems to help bridge the gap between research and practice and foster gender-equal and socially inclusive, resilient food systems. The conference actively engaged a diverse group of researchers and other actors from academic and research institutes, NARES, NGOs, CSOs, donors, policymakers, the private sector, and more, working toward the shared goal of equitable food systems transformation.
