The Briefing discussed the key challenges and new opportunities to enhance South-South and Triangular cooperation. This Briefing reviewed successes and lessons learned from research and practice; enhanced exchange of information on best practices and drivers of success; and also fed into the debate on various perspectives on policy options. Here the key challenges and opportunities in South-South cooperation in agriculture and the lessons learned from research and practice were reviewed. The knowledge acquired from this ACP conference did inspired TFGH to scale-up its agri-aqua inclusive venture to tackle the issues of food insecurity, poverty and provide alternative livelihoods to the local farmers. This will enhance community adaptability to climate change threats, reduce their dependence on the forest and gradually restores ecosystems.
