Science at the nexus of climate change and agriculture: Science for Sustainable Intensification
Objectives
This workshop brings together about 70 people drawn from the CGIAR, global environmental change research community and regional partners. Inspired by some high-level presentations on topics at the interface of climate change, agriculture and food security
- To identify elements within CCAFS that should be prioritised for collaboration
- To co-design CCAFS calls for collaborative planning workshops during 2012
