33% of global biodiversity hotspots are located in grassland regions threatened by agricultural expansion (Kan et al., 2026).

Between 20% and 35% of the world's terrestrial carbon is stored in grasslands, ecosystems currently under increasing agricultural pressure (Kan et al., 2026).

6% of global land use change is attributed individually to countries such as Russia, India, China, and the United States (Kan et al., 2026).

The trinational “Raíces” project aims to strengthen agrobiodiversity and seed systems in family farming across Argentina, Brazil, and Bolivia through the participatory improvement of genetic resources. The initiative integrates technical knowledge with local practices to conserve, reproduce, and adapt native and traditional crop varieties to changing climatic conditions. The project promotes the establishment of community seed banks and the strengthening of local networks, alongside training in agroecological practices. In doing so, it enhances productive resilience, crop diversity, and food security among small-scale farmers, with a particular focus on the inclusion of women, youth, and Indigenous communities.

This project assess the impacts of Covid-19 on Indigenous traditional farming. Using farm surveys, participatory video and satellite radar analysis, it aims to investigate short term biodiversity, traditional knowledge, and livelihood impacts of Covid-related resurgence in traditional forest-based rotational farming, and collate lessons learnt to sustain the benefits and mitigate the deleterious effects in the long-term. Findings will inform policies incentivising Indigenous food sovereignty, biodiversity conservation and resilience to escalating disruptive events, from pandemics to climate change weather extremes.

Saint Lucia Sea Moss Value Chain Strengthening Project through the implementation of sustainable cultivation frameworks. It focuses on technology transfer, the recovery of local ecological knowledge, and the creation of governance mechanisms to balance the economic livelihoods of coastal communities with the conservation of marine ecosystems

National strategic land-use framework for Antigua and Barbuda that updates the National Physical Development Plan with a 20-year horizon. It integrates ecological studies, geographic-sectoral analysis, and low-carbon development scenarios to optimize the productive use of natural resources — including agricultural land, fisheries, and tourism — without exceeding the resilience of coastal, marine, and terrestrial ecosystems.

Constitutionally mandated five-year national development plan setting Suriname's policy priorities and targets for 2017–2021. Organized around four development pillars, the fourth — Utilization and Protection of the Environment — explicitly integrates climate change as a cross-cutting issue, with provisions on sea-level rise, disaster management, emissions reduction, and agriculture-related environmental threats. The plan establishes a two-track agricultural development policy, lays the groundwork for energy transition and forest protection, and provides the overarching framework for the country's NAP and NDC.

National strategic framework setting Trinidad and Tobago's vision, objectives, and 90 climate change adaptation strategies across seven priority sectors: coastal zone resources, agriculture and food security, water resources, human health, biodiversity, infrastructure, and financial services. Applies Climate Resilient Development Pathways (CRDPs) and Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways (DAPP).

This agro-environmental project focused on combating severe land degradation and deforestation within the Artibonite River basin. By implementing agroforestry systems and soil conservation techniques (such as terracing and live barriers), the project successfully restored the land's productive capacity. The initiative integrated reforestation with food production, strengthening local governance through watershed committees and farmer field schools. This approach ensured that ecosystem protection generated direct economic benefits for rural communities while enhancing climate resilience.
