One of the options for the development of family farming is to promote access to different markets (national or international). Related to this, various contributions in relation to the analysis of the development problems of rural markets highlight two fundamental aspects that must be faced: the few opportunities in local markets and the limited access to more dynamic markets with competitive products.

This study documented existing knowledge on traditional fruits, vegetables and pulses in Kenya and Ethiopia. The aim was to identify neglected and underutilized species with high potential for food security, for their economic value and contribution to sustainable agriculture, based on a literature review and confirmation of existing data by local experts. In order of priority, the top 5 fruit species in Kenya are Tamarindus indica L. , Adansonia digitata L.

Women are vulnerable to adverse climate change impacts and their active involvement and decision-making in
the climate change and agrifood governance is limited, especially in the Global South. New research based on a
strategic review of literature conducted as part of CGIAR research initiative HER+: Harnessing gender and social
equality for resilience in agrifood systems indicate that public policies are vital instruments towards improving
women’s participation in climate change governance and enhancing their resilience.

Do individuals’ perceptions of their relative economic status affect their attitudes regarding gender roles in patriarchal societies? What role does hearing messages designed to increase support for women’s empowerment play in moderating these effects?

The theory of change depends on all work being done within partnerships, particularly with
national research and extension systems(NARES) and with small and medium enterprises (SMEs)
active in the national breeding and seed sectors. A core focus is to raise the NARES-CGIAR-SME
breeding networks’ collective strategic and operational capacity to deliver a high rate of uptake
and replacement in seed varieties among small-scale farmers in low- and medium- income
countries.

As part of the CGIAR Initiative on Asian Mega-Deltas, a scoping study was completed by the end of 2022 to prioritize key delta-oriented production systems and value chains in Viet Nam's Mekong River Delta (MRD) (Gonsalves et al., 2022). Rice, rice-shrimp, and fruit trees production systems and value chains were selected based on a set of criteria including production, economic and nutritional value, climate change and impact, and potential benefit of climate services with specific attention to the role of women and smallholders.

As part of the CGIAR Initiative on Asian Mega-Deltas, a scoping study was recently completed to prioritize key delta-oriented production systems and value chains for the Lower Mekong Basin in Cambodia (Gonsalves et al., 2022). Rice, vegetables, and inland fisheries were selected based on a set of criteria including production, economic and nutritional value, climate change impact, and potential benefit of climate services with specific attention for the role of women and smallholders.

Although livelihoods within agrifood systems (AFS) are generally vulnerable to the impacts of climate
change, women bear a disproportionate burden from rising climatic stressors. In agrarian regions in
the Global South, women face unique and intersectional vulnerabilities that limit their voice in
governance and decision-making processes. This, in turn, impedes their ability to participate in and
benefit from the food system. Addressing these vulnerabilities is crucial for promoting women's

Within the global literature on ecological restoration, a subset of literature examines the relationship between smallholder
land restoration and rural outmigration. However, intrahousehold dynamics surrounding the outmigration of one or more
household members and the capacity of the household to undertake land restoration activities are often overlooked.
With analyses rooted in Burkina Faso and Kenya, we explore the relationships between restoration, household labor, and

The report details the establishment of a Living Lab for People (LL4P) in La Montañita, Colombia, as part of the Low-Emission Food Systems (Mitigate +) initiative, which seeks to transform food systems and address climate change impacts. The LL4P focuses on empowering key stakeholders, particularly women, youth, and marginalized groups, to enhance their capacity to implement low-emission sociotechnical innovations in the food system, emphasizing cattle/dairy and cacao value chains.
