Climate, Land, Agriculture, and Biodiversity (CLAB-Africa)

The Climate, Land, Agriculture, and Biodiversity (CLAB-Africa) project is a Future Africa (University of Pretoria) initiative hosted under the African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA) Centre of Excellence in Sustainable Food Systems (ARUA-SFS). CLAB-Africa aims to provide a platform for Africa’s scientific community to contribute to the developmental work of African governments and development institutions in the form of science-based, actionable recommendations within four identified clusters:

  1. climate impact on food systems,
  2. land restoration and biodiversity,
  3. people-animal-ecosystems health and wellbeing,
  4. land-water-energy resources use.
