Presentation of the EU-IFAD Program on Agroecological Transitions for Building Resilient, Inclusive, Agricultural and Food Systems (TRANSITIONS) at the First Annual Members Forum of the Agroecology Transformation Partnership Platform (AE TPP) in February 2023. Matthias Geck of CIFOR-ICRAF and the TPP presented an overview of the program and the Metrics project, Ciniro Costa Jr. of the Alliance of Bioversity & CIAT shared insights from the Inclusive Digital Tools project's first year of work, and Jonathan Mockshell also of the Alliance of Bioversity & CIAT presented the goals of the private sector engagement project. The TRANSITIONS Program aims to address these constraints by enabling climate-informed agroecological transitions by farmers in LMICs through the development and adoption of holistic metrics for food and agricultural systems performance, inclusive digital tools and transparent private sector engagement.
