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...

Reducing food loss in agricultural development projects through value chain efficiency
At the 21st session of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC, COP21), a
voluntary action plan, the ‘4 per 1000 Initiative: Soils for Food Security and Climate’ was proposed under the Agenda for Action. The Initiative underlines the role of soil organic matter (SOM) in ...

Matching policy and science: Rationale for the ‘4 per 1000 - soils for food security and climate’ initiative
The need to prioritise food security in the face of a changing climate raises the question of how much agriculture should contribute to global mitigation targets. A global target for reducing methane and nitrous oxide emissions from agriculture of ~1 gigatonne of carbon dioxide equivalent per ye...

This article analyses the greenhouse gas (GHG) impact potential of improved management practices
and technologies for smallholder agriculture promoted under a global food security development
program. Under ‘business-as-usual’ development, global studies on the future of agriculture to 2050

Analyzing the greenhouse gas impact potential of smallholder development actions across a global food security program
Reducing emissions of agricultural greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as methane and nitrous oxide, and sequestering carbon in the soil or in living biomass can help reduce the impact of agriculture on climate change while improving productivity and reducing resource use. There is an increasing demand...

Synthesis and Review: Advancing Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Quantification
Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration on agricultural land decreases the costs of climate change mitigation while promoting increased food security. SOC has the potential to sequester up to 3.5 GtCO2eq/yr by 2050 in a scenario consistent with 1.5 ºC warming. In total, the SOC sequestration pote...

The potential of soil organic carbon sequestration for climate change mitigation and food security
Better information on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and mitigation potential in the agricultural sector is necessary to manage these emissions and identify responses that are consistent with the food security and economic development priorities of countries. Critical activity data (what crops or...
