WorldFish @ CGIAR Science Week

CGIAR and the Kenyan Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) are convening the world’s leading scientists and decision-makers at the intersection of agriculture, climate, and health for an inaugural CGIAR Science Week.

The gathering will inspire action and investment in sustainable food systems that nourish both people and the planet. With the new CGIAR research Portfolio being shaped to address the biggest challenges and opportunities of our time, this will be a key moment to shape and co-create the research and innovation agenda and to establish critical partnerships.

WorldFish Participation:

This event fosters collaboration across CGIAR centers and enables the sharing of innovative research and solutions with peers and partners under a holistic food systems approach.
It will solidify WorldFish’s leadership in aquatic food research and its application for global food systems transformation within the CGIAR network of partners, donors, and other stakeholders.
