Food loss and waste (FLW) reduce food available for consumption and increase the environmental burden of production. Reducing FLW increases agricultural and value-chain productivity and may reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with feeding the global population. Although studies of interven...

Agricultural development addresses food loss and waste while reducing greenhouse gas emissions
Key messages
Initial steps towards outcome-focused monitoring, evaluation & learning (MEL) on communication and engagement can be small, but they must be systematic.
To achieve broad participation, MEL needs to be lean and do-able.
Well-designed MEL adds value by feeding information and les...

Reducing emissions by changing consumption of
foods with large greenhouse gas emissions could
have a major impact on climate change. Yet past
efforts to change diets through public policy have
had mixed results, suggesting that recent
estimates of technical mitigation potential likely
exceed feas...

Productivity Improvement (AAPI) in Bangladesh
showed a 2% reduction in greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions, driven by urea deep

Accelerating Agriculture Productivity Improvement in Bangladesh: Mitigation co-benefits of nutrients and water use efficency
Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and increasing soil or biomass carbon stocks are the main agricultural pathways to mitigate climate change. Scientific and policy attention has recently turned to evaluating the potential of practices that can increase soil carbon sequestration. Forty perce...

Fertiliser use and soil carbon sequestration: Key messages for climate change mitigation strategies
Food loss and waste (FLW) reduces the amount of food available for distribution and consumption, decreases food security, and increases the environmental burden of food production. Combating FLW addresses the key pillars of climate-smart agriculture for farmers by increasing productivity, promoti...

The agricultural development project ACCESO
reduced greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and
led to net carbon sequestration due to perennial
crop expansion.
Increased fertilizer use was a moderate source
of emissions that was more than offset by
reduced emissions from other ACCESOsupported
practices...
The agricultural development project, Peru
Cacao Alliance (PCA), has contributed to climate

which was –211,467 tCO2e metric tonnes of
