19 May 2026

 

In this Nutrition-Gender webinar, Amy Ickowitz, Principal Scientist at the Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF), presents key findings from comparative research across Asia and central Africa on how forests, trees, and food systems shape diets, food security, and nutrition outcomes for women and children. The discussion reflects implications for ADB operations in agriculture, nutrition, food systems, and climate resilience.

This webinar is jointly organized by ADB’s Gender Equality Division; Agriculture, Food, Nature, and Rural Development Sector; and Forest Working Group.
