In the context of the triple planetary crisis, it is crucial to understand the gaps and bridges between different elements and topics. The IPBES Nexus Assessment stress the intricate connections between biodiversity, water, food, health, and climate change.
The M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation invites us to join the MSSRF Centenary Lecture Series in exploring how scientific innovation can face contemporary challenges and to discuss the IPBES Nexus Assessment and the implications for food production in South Asia. The main goal is to present crucial findings on addressing the interconnected challenges of biodiversity loss, water and food insecurity, health threats, and climate change through integrated solutions rather than siloed approaches.
