During London Climate Action Week, the 3rd Annual Chief Sustainability Officer and Food Systems Funders Summit, hosted by Food Tank, brought together experts to discuss the potential of drylands. According to the Landscape Alliance, drylands are critical ecosystems that are often undervalued and overlooked.
Speakers at the summit explored how these regions, which cover about 41% of Earth's land surface and are home to over 2 billion people, can be transformed into areas of opportunity through sustainable land management and investment.
Key discussions focused on the role of drylands in food security, climate resilience, and biodiversity conservation. The summit emphasized the need for increased funding and policy support to unlock the potential of these ecosystems.
