The Coalition of Action 4 Soil Health – or Global Soil Hub – has been inspired by the UN Food Systems Summit and brings together countries, research organizations, farmers, the private sector and others to improve soil health.
A new report showcases partnerships for wastewater aquaculture that could generate benefits for farmers, water treatment plant operators and consumers worldwide.
Although agriculture remains the biggest threat to biodiversity, experience suggests we can produce more food on less land without overexploiting natural resources and degrading wildlife habitats. We explore five critical factors to ensure agriculture becomes a force for biodiversity conservation.
Inclusive Weather Index Insurance may not only benefit farmers, but could also significantly contribute towards reaching national (and global) development policy objectives.
Two seminars convened by WorldFish, IWMI and IRRI at World Water Week focused on the importance of integrating fisheries in rice-dominated landscapes and reconsidering irrigation schemes in Asia.
Scientists say organic carbon and nitrogen not changed following long-term prescribed burning and livestock exclusion in the Sudan savanna woodlands of Burkina Faso and the Ethiopian rangelands.
The three-session event organised by SIWI's Scientific Programme Committee, UNECE, IWMI, and CIWA/the World Bank engaged participants from across the world, discussing inter-sectoral and transboundary cooperation.
Dams are central to Africa's climate adaptation plans, but the associated risk of malaria, particularly with small dams, requires careful planning to avert a public health crisis.
New research argues that two critical shifts influenced how and why gender became more visible in natural resource management and governance: the evolution of community collectives and the concept of plurality of institutional arrangements.
Across West African countries, breaches of free trade regulations are still being reported — an issue posed to drivers transporting food, who have little alternative than to buy their way out.
Eight WLE and IWMI researchers speak on experiences working in science and development. Hear more in this excerpt from an upcoming podcast exploring gender, inclusion, and representation.
What do we know about the role of women in agriculture, in different societies across the globe, that can help us design more effective programs for increasing gender equity?
How many of us want to address gender in our work, but when it comes down to the specifics, aren’t quite sure how? Join the discussion- help us develop a series of collaborative questions to investigate gender in agricultural water management projects.
The evidence base is growing: strengthening women’s land rights contributes to women’s empowerment and household welfare. But it isn’t that simple - there are always vested interests to protect the status quo along with the additional issues of navigating gender norms. How can we improve women's land tenure?
