8. Are there objective inputs to the process? - 5 Institutional support - 4 Potential for innovation and impact Vulnerability mapping report 3 Hotspots of food system vulnerability (1) Areas with high mitigation potential of the natural system (above ground biomass, soil C potential, wetlands and organic soils, degraded areas, grasslands, forest boundaries …) (2) Areas where existing or potential practices create high emissions - interventions could have high impact (livestock densities, areas with high fertilizer use, large areas of wet rice, …) 2 Potential for pro-poor mitigation Agro-ecological zones, human populations and rates of change, populations in poverty, agricultural potential, … 1 Complementarities Information that could be used Criterion
