In this paper we focus on the issue of how climate change affects the way that agricultural systems
and the people that manage and govern them need to change in the next 20 years in order to

How does climate change alter agricultural strategies to support food security? Background paper for the conference "Food Security Futures: Research Priorities for the 21st Century" held in Dublin, Ireland, 11-12 April 2013
Climate Smart Agriculture is an integrated approach to achieve food security in the face of climate change, while also mitigating climate change and contribute to other development goals. Leading scientists share views on what is Climate-Smart Agriculture and how to make it work. This brief was a...
Agriculture, and consequently food security and livelihoods, is already being affected by climate change, according to latest science from the IPCC. The various strands of work already underway on agriculture within the UNFCCC process can be strengthened and made more coherent. A 2015 climate agr...

The Role of Agriculture in the UN Climate Talks
Agriculture, and consequently food security and livelihoods, is already being affected by climate change, according to latest science from the IPCC (Porter et al. 2014). The IPCC agrees that the world needs to produce at least 50% more food than we do today in order to meet the goal of feeding a ...

Effective agricultural research for development (AR4D) faces many challenges that are exacerbated under climate change. Effective behaviours by AR4D programs may drive the likelihood and quality of positive outcomes when working with partners.Explicit principles about effective behaviours can imp...
Agriculture and food security are key sectors for intervention under climate change. Agricultural production is highly vulnerable even to 2C (low-end) predictions for global mean temperatures in 2100, with major implications for rural poverty and for both rural and urban food security. Agricultur...
