Achieving food security in the face of climate change: Final report from the Commission on Sustainable Agriculture and Climate Change
Agriculture is considered to be “climate-smart” when it contributes to increasing food security, adaptation and mitigation in a sustainable way. This new concept now dominates current discussions in agricultural development because of its capacity to unite the agendas of the agriculture, developm...
