This publication provides highlights of the Mainstreaming Land Rights and Climate Change in Agricultural Food Systems workshop, held on 11–12 February 2026 in Quezon City, Philippines, which brought together researchers, policymakers, and civil society organizations to address the growing challenges facing Asia’s agricultural food systems in the context of climate change.
While advances in agricultural productivity have helped meet global food needs, the rise of largescale agribusiness and the increasing impacts of climate change continue to threaten the livelihoods of smallholder farmers, particularly those with insecure land tenure.
The regional workshop underscores the importance of integrating land rights, climate resilience, and sustainable agricultural practices in shaping future food systems. By promoting community-led research, recognizing indigenous knowledge, and strengthening policies that support vulnerable farmers, the event aims to foster dialogue and collaboration through a framework for partnership toward building productive, equitable, and resilient agricultural food systems across the region.
