Food Agriculture Biodiversity Land and Energy (FABLE)

The Food, Agriculture, Biodiversity, Land-Use, and Energy (FABLE) Consortium is a collaborative initiative created in 2017. FABLE is a global network of researchers who develop national pathways that are consistent with global sustainability objectives, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Climate Agreement targets.

They collaborate on science-based political actions that respond to the global challenges our countries are facing.
