Past achievements

A review of the projects accomplished since the launch of the Shamba Centre

The Shamba Centre Executive Director, Carin Smaller, moderated the Berlin Ministerial Conference Uniting for Global Food Security, held on 24 June 2022.  The Ministerial was organised by the German Government in the run up to the 2022 G7 Summit at Schloss Elmau.

At the event, a bold commitment was tabled on curbing the global food crises and the continued transformation of agriculture and food statements towards sustainable development.

The Shamba Centre was subsequently invited to design, moderate and advise the Global Alliance for Food Se- curity. This is an international high-level multi-stakeholder process focusing on immediate crises response as well as on longer term food security. We deve- loped a series of recommendations that now serve as the basis for the food cri- sis preparedness frameworks led by the World Bank.

The Shamba Centre advised the government of Sri Lanka on opportunities for a debt-for-nature swap where proceeds will be targeted to regenerative agriculture.
