How to Bring Food Systems "From Fragility to Stability" | Introducing Our New Series With CGIAR

Today's episode is the launch of a new series called "From Fragility to Stability" in which we examine what works to improve the well-being of people in Fragile and Conflict-Affected Settings who often struggle to sustain resilient food, land, and water systems in the face of the climate crisis. The series is produced with CGIAR, a global partnership that unites international organizations engaged in research about food security, to help deepen understanding of fragility, conflict, and migration dynamics. Episodes in this series will convene experts, practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders to foster a collaborative dialogue, share insights, and co-create actionable strategies to address the multifaceted challenges of conflict, crises, and fragility.

To kick off this series we have a high powered panel discussion focusing on how partnerships can bring food systems from fragility to stability. You will hear from:

-Ismahane Elouafi, Executive Managing Director–CGIAR

-Andrew Harper, Special Advisor to the High Commissioner on Climate Action, the UN Refugee Agency

-Arif Husain (Chief Economist and Director of Analysis, Planning and Performance United Nations World Food Program

-Katrina Kosec, Senior Research Fellow–IFPRI; Lead–CGIAR Research Initiative on Fragility, Conflict, and Migration; Lecturer, Johns Hopkins Universit
