We will highlight the role of rangelands and pastoral systems in advancing climate resilience, biodiversity conservation, food security, and sustainable agriculture—while positioning these insights within a broader national framework.
- Day 1 (Knowledge): Exploring what we know about resilient food systems in the context of IYRP
- Day 2 (Action): Synthesizing insights and translating dialogue into forward-looking action
