Cracking the Nut 2016
Climatelinks attended Cracking the Nut 2016 as a media partner to learn about developments in climate-smart agriculture and more.
-
About Cracking the Nut 2016
-
Cracking the Nut 2016 focused on three cross cutting themes: regenerating rural and agricultural landscapes; financing environmentally sustainable development; and encouraging investment in climate-smart agriculture.
-
Conversations touched on ways the public and private sectors can collaborate to restore deforested areas while improving agricultural productivity, how to ensure that all farmers, including women and youth, have access to finance, markets, fair prices and climate-smart technical assistance, and how the private sector can profitably invest in climate-smart agriculture.
-
As a media partner, Climatelinks live-tweeted the conference using the hashtag #crknut16. On the first day of the conference, the Climatelinks team attended the opening plenary and a session on attracting private-sector investment by improving climate services.
-
On the second day of the conference, Climatelinks attended a session on increased coffee yields and farmer resilience through climate-smart ag and finance, integrated finance and insurance to support sustainable crop production intensification in Senegal, and a plenary on public and private partnerships facilitated by USAID's Noel Gurwick.
