Africa-Europe research and innovation hold the key to improve climate adaptation – ECDPM

The focus on climate change adaptation is also relatively new. Cecilia D'Alessandro and Hanne Knaepen provide an overview of the state-of-play of adaptation-related R&I in agri-food systems and outline three conditions to achieve tangible success for all.
