Food Systems Mission Possible: Powering Climate Action Through Policy and Action

About The Event

Clim-Eat is a “think and do tank” driving climate action in food systems by bridging the science–policy gap in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). Amid converging climate, funding, and geopolitical crises, Clim-Eat works to reform policies and institutions through knowledge brokering and strategic partnerships.

Over the past year, Clim-Eat has piloted innovative approaches such as repurposing fertilizer subsidies in Malawi and Tanzania, and expanding agricultural insurance in Kenya to strengthen farmer resilience. In Southeast Asia, through the GIZ C4N project, Clim-Eat supports ASEAN countries in integrating the climate–nutrition nexus into national policies.

Looking ahead, Clim-Eat is mobilizing global “agents of change” under the Food Systems MISSION POSSIBLE initiative and co-organizing the Global Climate Smart Agriculture Conference 2025 (5–7 November, Brasília, Brazil), as a milestone towards COP30.

This roundtable convenes Dutch partners to exchange lessons on governance engagement at national, regional, and global levels, and to align on priority themes for advancing policy and institutional reform towards resilient and climate-neutral food systems.
