ISEAL Alliance/Evidensia and CGIAR public launch of the 

​​Knowledge Platform for Inclusive and Sustainable Food Markets and Value Chains (KISM) 

​The CGIAR Rethinking Food Markets aims to provide evidence on what types of bundled innovations, incentive structures and policies are most effective for creating more equitable sharing of income and employment opportunities in growing food markets, while reducing the food sector’s environmental footprint. This objective is being accomplished through:

 

  • Piloting and scaling of bundled innovations
  • Innovating and designing policies
  • Promoting knowledge tools for policy coherence and market reform

 

In partnership with Evidensia platform and ISEAL, the initiative is launching the Knowledge Platform for Inclusive and Sustainable Food Markets and Value Chains (KISM) to help farmer organizations, food businesses, governments, and practitioners make better-informed investment and policy decision on inclusive and sustainable food value chains. The KISM is designed to share cutting edge research emerging from this multidisciplinary research initiative and convene stakeholder dialogues to make sense of this research and improve policy coherence and market reform. KISM is also your gateway to access further credible research and data in this field through other knowledge platforms such as Evidensia and Value Chains knowledge portal.

This event will publicly launch the KISM and will showcase the usability of KISM for stakeholders involved in the initiative.
