St. Louis, Mo.The complexity and uncertainty we face in agriculture and land management is daunting. Science must rise to the occasion, to promote inclusive and environmentally sound agrifood systems, with resilience, in a rapidly changing world. Extreme weather, conflict, consumer price spikes, and epidemics highlight the urgent need to use action research, new data analytics, and agrodiversity to buffer capacity and farming systems. Transdisciplinary science is key to sustainable food, farm, and land use. To quote Borlaug, it takes ‘venturesome scientists willing to work across disciplines...’ The approach matters. Action research supports local solutions, to tackle the sustainability challenges of soil health, agricultural diversification and resilience. Discovery science must be closely linked to action-drive science to engage stakeholders and address the steep trade-offs, social-ecological complexity and uncertainties involved in making change. Emerging innovations to be explored in this talk include living labs, agroecology, open data and open-source technology that empower farmers, communities and scientists to work together.AGRIFOOD SYSTEMSCLIMATE CHANGEAGROBIODIVERSITYSUSTAINABILITYLEARNINGLANDSCAPEOPEN SCIENCIEOPEN DATACOOPERATIONOpen AccessCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International § CIMMYT manages Intellectual Assets as International Public Goods.
