How do we capture the holistic impact of complex Nature-Positive Projects in three different continents? EBF provides a framework to visualize and share nature-positive impacts in an interactive and comprehensive way.
These profiles feature the work of CGIAR Initiative on Nature-Positive Solutions. The initiative aims to re-imagine, co-create and implement nature-positive solutions-based agri-food systems in five countries around the globe: Colombia, Burkina Faso, Kenya, India and Vietnam. We started with three of them.

Explore how nature-positive food systems look like on three continents and the ecological benefits they generate.
INDIA
In Akole, farmers’ primary concern is water.
Nature+ adopts a holistic approach, supporting local seed systems, watershed management, circular bioeconomy, and tree-based land restoration to ensure consistent water availability for land and people and that agriculture is a net positive contributor to nature.
INDIA
In Nandurbar, indigenous people face land degradation and water scarcity due to unsustainable agriculture, water mismanagement, imbalance between water extraction and recharge, deforestation, overgrazing, and undulating topography etc.
Nature+ promotes water access and tree-based farming to conserve resources and boost incomes.
KENYA
Turkana faces numerous challenges due to climate change, including erratic weather patterns, drought, and flooding. The Nature-Positive Solutions initiative uses native trees and integrated farming systems to enhance agropastoralist communities’ resilience.
KENYA
In Kisumu, Vihiga, and Siaya, monocropping has degraded land, threatening livelihoods. The Nature-Positive Solutions Initiative combines small farms into community-owned, agroecological farms to restore land and diversify production.
COLOMBIA
CGIAR and partners promote local agrobiodiversity, sustainable farming, and agroecotourism in Páramo and Cumbal to combat land degradation from dairy grazing, supporting nature-positive economies.
COLOMBIA
The Nature-Positive Solutions initiative supports indigenous people in Putumayo, enabling them to restore land with native trees, obtain new legal livelihoods, and use technology to conserve biodiversity.
