The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI)
Where food and agriculture, trade, resources and supply chains and climate and hazards are studied as science at GCRI, governed at GRF and understood financially at GRA, with links to each counterpart platform.
Food Nexus counterparts are the platforms at GRF and GRA that work on the same fields under other mandates, among them Diplomacy Nexus and Climate and Nature Governance at GRF as well as Insurance Nexus and Banking Nexus at GRA. GCRI studies a field as science, GRF governs it and GRA builds shared financial understanding of it, so each counterpart shows another side of food and agriculture.
Fig.How GCRI, GRF and GRA share one field while the authorities decide. Design, not a record.
Food security governance, including trade rules and the right to food, is a governance question at GRF, where Climate and Nature Governance takes up land and climate links. The financing of agricultural risk sits with GRA's insurance and development finance platforms. Food Nexus supplies the agronomic, market and access evidence both use.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Counterpart platform | A platform at another Consortium institution that works in a shared field under a different mandate: science at GCRI, governance at GRF or financial understanding at GRA. |
| Field gateway | A GCRI page for one field that links the platforms studying it as science, governing it and building financial understanding of it, with the methods they share. |
| Science-policy interface | The arrangements through which scientific evidence reaches public decisions, including advisory committees, chief scientific advisers, academies and intergovernmental assessments. |
