This is a collection of documents—including presentations and recordings—related to the Boosting Agrifood Research and Innovation Cooperation for Impact at Scale conference, which took place from 11 to 13 March 2025 in Brussels as part of the DeSIRA-LIFT service of DeSIRA, EU's initiative for climate-relevant, productive, and sustainable transformation of agri-food systems in the global South.

This book presents a collection of Stories of Change from the DeSIRA Initiative—an EU-funded portfolio of over 80 research and innovation (R&I) projects across 65+ countries. It explores how research contributes to agricultural innovation systems (AIS), not just through results, but by changing the way innovation is supported, governed, and scaled.

This second volume of Stories of Change explores how DeSIRA projects have contributed to transformative shifts in agrifood systems (AFS), by developing and scaling innovations that respond to sustainability challenges. Building on the strategies and approaches outlined in the first volume, these stories focus on the nature, ownership, and transformative potential of innovations supported by DeSIRA.

This document presents practical tools for assessing community vulnerability to climate change and for planning adaptation and disaster risk reduction strategies. Presentations:
