Sustainable Food Systems-An Agenda for Climate-Risked Times

Growing incidence and intensity of extreme weather events pose a big challenge for India’s farming population, which is already vulnerable due to economic and ecological challenges. Agriculture and food systems need to be more sustainable and resilient, which means in addition to improving livelihood, nutrition and natural resources, such systems must help reduce losses due to extreme climate events.

The civil society in India plays an active role to help address these challenges through various initiatives on the ground. CSE periodically convenes experts and civil society colleagues to update on the current state of affairs, the challenges and the possibilities. The endeavor has been to build capacity, encourage cross-learning, share best practices and create a learning forum.

CSE’s Sustainable Food Systems programme is organising a three-day training and workshop that will involve expert lectures, masterclasses, group work, practitioner’s perspectives and open discussions. It is expected bring together about 35 civil society colleagues, scientific experts and practitioners from different parts of the country to deliberate on multiple aspects.
