Specifically, this exception is made for India and Brazil. The purpose of including regional initiatives from these regions is to identify how promising initiatives and best practices can be shared and learned from across countries facing similar economic, environmental and social challenges. Of these, 15 global, 32 regional and 11 national initiatives have been included in the analysis. A list of these initiatives can be found in Appendix B. The initiatives chosen for analysis share a common focus on agriculture and climate change, and the interaction between these areas. Thus, initiatives have been excluded from analysis if their scope and objectives are not focused on agriculture and climate change.
