Ethiopia's development plans and food systems pathways aim to build a more resilient and sustainable food system that is better able to withstand the impacts of climate change and support the country's economic development. 

Ethiopia has been actively working on building climate resilience in its food systems through various development plans and food systems pathways. Some key elements include:

• Increasing the productivity and resilience of smallholder farmers: This includes measures such as promoting conservation agriculture, which can help to improve soil health and reduce erosion, as well as investing in irrigation and water management infrastructure to help farmers adapt to changing weather patterns.
• Developing sustainable food value chains: This includes promoting sustainable practices throughout the entire food system, from production to processing, storage, transportation, and marketing, with a focus on smallholder farmers and agro-processing enterprises.
• Building a resilient and diversified agricultural sector: This includes encouraging the development of new crop varieties and livestock breeds that are better suited to changing climate conditions, as well as promoting agroforestry and other land-use practices that can help to improve soil health and reduce erosion.
• Strengthening food security and nutrition: This includes investing in social protection programs to help vulnerable communities access food, as well as promoting nutrition-sensitive agriculture to ensure that people have access to a diverse and nutritious diet.

This case study gives a comprehensive overview of Ethiopia's plans to build climate resilient food systems.
