Landmark NUS events and key publications by Padulosi, Stefano, Hunter, Danny

“…Current interest in NUS is the result of a number of factors, among which are the greater awareness of the role played by more diverse diets in bettering peoples’ lives, and the realization that diversification in crop production systems is urgently needed in order to fight the pervasive effects of climate change. Other reasons behind this favourable moment for NUS include calls for producing and consuming locally as a way to reduce agriculture’s carbon footprint, greater attention paid to safeguarding traditional crops and associated practices including food recipes to safeguard our own cultures, the need to turn abandoned marginalized land into productive areas, and the pursuit of opportunities that would help raise the incomes of women, youth and other vulnerable members of society. …”

Effectively targeting climate investments: A methodology for mapping climate–agriculture–gender inequality hotspots by Koo, Jawoo, Azzarri, Carlo, Mishra, Avni, Lecoutere, Els, Puskur, Ranjitha, Chanana, Nitya, Singaraju, Niyati, Nico, Gianluigi, Khatri-Chhetri, Arun

“…These hotspots are geographical areas where extreme climate hazards intersect with large concentrations of women participating in food systems and in the agricultural labor force, and with high levels of gender inequalities—and as such, result in high risk and exposure, low adaptive capacities, and higher vulnerability of women to adverse effects of climate change. The hotspots are identified using a set of indicators based on available secondary data comparable across the countries, conforming to the framework developed for this assessment, and using the Principal Component Analysis methodology. …”

Climate change effects on food security in Tajikistan by Khakimov, Parviz, Aliev, Jovidon, Thomas, Timothy S., Ilyasov, Jarilkasin, Pechtl, Sarah, Dunston, Shahnila

“…Additionally, climate change is one of the key obstacles to the achievement of the country’s strategic objective defined in the National Development Strategy (NDS) 2016–2030, which is to improve the living standards of the population, and one of the four strategic priorities, which is to ensure food security and access to quality nutrition by 2030. The effects of climate change on food security in Tajikistan were examined using IFPRI’s International Model for Policy Analysis of Agricultural Commodities and Trade (IMPACT) by simulating climate change and no climate change (baseline) scenarios between 2015 and 2050.…”
