Objective: Integrate climate change adaptation, mitigation and resilience-building strategies and practices into land management, agriculture and forestry initiatives, through science and innovation. 

What we’ll do

• Integrate and/or generate climate information (including modelling and mapping) for regenerative agriculture, forestry and land management applications.
• Strengthen awareness of climate impacts on agriculture and forestry.
• Develop (breed), acquire and evaluate genetic resources adapted to emerging climate thresholds and safeguard them from current and emerging threats.
• Support systems that increase carbon sequestration in soils and biomass.
• Identify opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture and forestry.
• Build capabilities in adaptation, mitigation and resilience.

Climate Change and Resilience directly advances KFA 1: Resilience & Climate Action, with co-benefits for KFA 6: Planetary Health as countries use climate information, mitigation options and adaptation pathways to safeguard people and places. 

Objective: Enhance regenerative agriculture and forestry systems by developing and promoting innovative and integrated approaches and practices to improve landscape management, livelihoods and food systems transformations, through science and innovation. 

What we’ll do

• Ensure practices and programmes incorporate traditional knowledge, science and/or innovation.
• Enable access to and use of clean, diverse genetic resources.
• Develop and strengthen innovations that enhance soil, plant, animal and forest health, and water management in an integrated way.
• Identify adoption pathways for agroecological, integrated approaches. 

Regenerative Agriculture and Forestry strengthens KFA 2: Natural Resources & Biodiversity by restoring soils, trees and agrobiodiversity, while accelerating KFA 3: Food Systems and KFA 5: Sustainable Economies & Livelihoods through practical, investable production practices and value chains. 

Objective: Enhance capacities through technical advisory services to support food and nutrition security goals, by leveraging expertise in genetic resources, plant and animal health, value chains and natural resources management in agriculture and forestry. 

What we’ll do

• Build capacities and support extension services that enhance resilient food systems.
• Support new policies and the review/implementation of existing policies for stronger food and nutrition security.
• Provide data, protocols and guidelines for managing plant and animal genetic resources.
• Strengthen pest and disease surveillance, control and response.
• Promote access to and use of nutritious crops and trees, including indigenous and underutilised varieties, to diversify diets and build resilience.
• Support robust, efficient value chains and agribusinesses to improve livelihoods. 

Food and Nutrition Security anchors KFA 3: Food Systems linking resilient production with markets and policy while contributing to KFA 4: Equity, Education & Social Development through GEDSI-responsive approaches and to KFA 6: Planetary Health via healthier diets and environments. 

Objective: Enhance capacity through technical advisory services to promote healthy ecosystems through the conservation, protection and regeneration of ecosystem services and functions and the improvement of soil, plant and animal health. 

What we’ll do

• Support governance mechanisms, policies and capabilities that enhance ecosystem health, including traditional practices.
• Build capacity for integrated approaches to improve ecosystem health.
• Conserve agrobiodiversity and ex-situ collections.
• Promote integrative support to ecosystem services and plant health using the One Health approach.
• Build capacity for appropriate biosecurity, sanitary and phytosanitary practices. 

Healthy Ecosystems embodies KFA 2: Natural Resources & Biodiversity and KFA 6: Planetary Health, conserving and regenerating ecosystem services across land- and seascapes through One Health and integrated management. 

Objective: Strengthen LRD’s capabilities, systems, and processes, and enhance partnership and collaboration with internal and external stakeholders. 

What we’ll do

• Co-design and co-implement impact-based programmes with members and partners, generating information that supports learning, adaptation and decision-making.
• Establish and nurture collaborative partnerships.
• Develop and strengthen information, communication and knowledge-management systems, products and platforms.
• Develop a comprehensive resource-mobilisation strategy for long-term, flexible funding.
• Contribute to the implementation of Growing the Pacific – 2050 Regional Strategy for Agriculture and Forestry and the Regional Research Agenda.
• Design and implement people-centred programmes (including GEDSI) and foster “One SPC” collaboration.

Institutional Effectiveness is our engine for KFA 7: Transforming Institutional Effectiveness, enabling “One SPC” collaboration, strong systems, knowledge platforms and long-term, flexible financing.
