Asian megadeltas are home to tens of millions of people. They provide food and economic security beyond this population and our biodiversity hotspots. However, they face several challenges, such as shrinking and sinking due to climate change and unsustainable development. To address these urgent concerns, SUGIAR together with relevant stakeholders is implementing the initiative on securing the food systems of Asian megadeltas for climate and livelihood resilience or AMD. The AMD initiative aims to create resilient, inclusive and productive deltas which maintain socio-ecological integrity, adapt to climatic and other stressors and support human prosperity and well-being. AMD will transform food systems toward greater climate resilience by removing systemic barriers at community, national and regional levels to enable the scaling of existing and emerging technologies and practices. The initiative will focus on three main deltas in Asia, Zergengas, Brahma, Putra, Delta and Bangladesh and India, Irwati, Delta, Myanmar and Mekong River Delta and Vietnam and Cambodia. To achieve the goals of AMD, the research team will work on five focus areas, namely adapting deltayak production systems, nutrition-sensitive deltayak agro-food systems, de-riskant delta-oriented value chains, inclusive deltayak food systems governments and evidence-based delta-development planning. Focus Area 1, adapting deltayak production systems. The focus area will facilitate innovation scaling to support resilient diversified deltayak production systems and reduce environmental footprints and climatic risks. This will be done by convening stakeholders in learning alliances, providing technical know-how on land suitability and agronomy and enabling value chain development. Focus Area 2, nutrition-sensitive deltayak agro-food systems. Focus Area 2 will ensure that deltayak food systems sustain and enhance nutrition security equitably in a context of rapid change. The first requirement of designing appropriate nutrition-sensitive interventions is to understand the characteristics of these systems and their socially differentiated nutrition implications. Focus Area 3, de-riskant delta-oriented value chains. We aim to reduce climate risks among small holders, including women and youth and facilitate investment. In deltayak value chains through digital climate advisory and complementary services or DCAS. Focus Area 4, inclusive deltayak food systems governments. Through Focus Area 4, AMD will strengthen capacities of national, provincial and local actors to plan, design and implement more sustainable food systems. Improve inclusivity and accountability of public and private agricultural related investments and interventions in the AMD's. Focus Area 5, evidence-based delta development planning. This focus area will improve the development of climate resilient and inclusive food systems in Asian mega-delta. Through evidence-supported policy dialogue and strategic planning and investment. Critical to the work will be building strong policy science partnerships and working with diverse actors and alignment towards common goals. Using participatory approaches, relevant stakeholders have been actively involved in the co-development process of the AMD initiative. Focus Area 5, each focus area is working with other CGI initiatives and leveraging the research results from those initiatives. In the countries we are building effective partnerships on two fronts, A for research and on the other hand we are working with scaling partners, national partners and international development partners and with their programs. Because we cannot have impact alone, we need to work with partners who have the means to scale our research outputs effectively. Through AMD, climate smart agricultural practices and nutrition sensitive interventions will help boost farm incomes, sustainability and employment. It will contribute to poverty reduction in the region, where about 36% of the population is poor. AMD will provide science-based evidence and data that will support policies and investments. Commercial issues such as equity, diverse and nutritious diet, migration of people and youth in the Delta food systems will also be tackled in the AMD. With the support of all the stakeholders, AMD's holistic food system and people-centered approach will help build resilience and climate change in the Delta.
