Role of nature-based solutions for development

Agroforestry techniques — Nature-based food production

This project collated and synthesized evidence on the development outcomes of investments in nature (protection, restoration, management, creation of ecosystem, and nature-based food production). This includes conservation interventions and more recently labelled “nature-based solutions” to societal challenges. The scope of development outcomes considered was broad, ranging from jobs, food security, empowerment, to climate change resilience for local people in poor (low- and lower-middle-income).
