Pathways for Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (PAFOLU) in Support of Sustainable Development, Equitable Solutions and a Stable Climate

The Foresight and Metrics Research Initiative of the CGIAR (F&M)1, the Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change at MIT (JP-MIT), and Oxford University via the Oxford Martin School (O-OMS) are each pursuing pathways for agriculture, forestry, and other land use (PAFOLU) in support of sustainable development, equitable solutions and a stable climate. They are doing so in distinct but potentially complementary ways. This workshop brings together experts across these and other institutions as well as interested stakeholders from industry, government, and the non-profit sector to jointly identify important knowledge priorities as well as means for meeting these priorities. The workshop addresses global issues in climate, sustainability, mitigation, and AFOLU-based solutions – but also bring these issues down to continental and national foci to a portion of the globe that is expected to undergo rapid development and population growth in the coming decades – Africa.
