IFSS portal Details
EXPLORE, CONNECT & CONTRIBUTE: Collaborate with people around the world and recreate food systems that ensure both human and planetary health for the global population.*As a global community, we urgently need to reimagine how our food systems work to ensure both human and planetary health. The Innovative Food System Solution (IFSS) portal aims to spotlight innovative solutions that tackle reducing malnutrition and restore & protect the environment in an equitable way. Through the IFSS portal key actors across the food supply chain - entrepreneurs, food producers, researchers, policy makers, businesses, students, NGOs, investors, and others - can explore food system solutions, connect with funding, identify high-potential investments, learn about upcoming events & opportunities, and find resources & tools that move innovative solutions towards uptake for major impact.Solutions included in the portal span the food supply chain and include policies, technologies, nature-based solutions, public/private collaborations, financial solutions, education, and social equity approaches. Solution "profiles" are strengthened by concrete examples (case studies, projects, business models) in specific real-world settings (with an emphasis on vulnerable communities and LMICs) that are shared to enable collaboration around solutions with particular criteria in mind for a specific context. The portal initiative is an ongoing open collaboration between groups working at the intersection of nutrition, sustainable agriculture, development economics, policy studies and environmental health. The initial portal content came from research projects coordinated by the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), the Alliance of Bioversity-CIAT, EAT, CSIRO's Food Systems and Global Change group, and the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability.
