How can we develop value chain programs that address climate risks?
Climate change fundamentally shifts the agricultural development agenda. Changing temperature and precipitation, sea level rise, and the rising frequency of extreme climate events will significantly reduce global food production in this century unless action is taken. Major investments, private an...
Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) has become a central
concept shaping action and bringing together
constituencies at the global level on agriculture and
climate change. In essence, climate-smart agriculture
pays explicit attention to how interventions in agriculture
and food systems affect each of...

El cambio climático, la seguridad alimentaria y los pequeños productores
La présente note d’information donne un aperçu du point de vue de l’AR5 concernant les impacts des changements climatiques sur l’alimentation et l’agriculture – en particulier l’alimentation et l’agriculture du demi-milliard de petits exploitants agricoles, éleveurs et pêcheurs qui sont les plus ...
Global food chains and increasingly interlinked economies mean countries need to work together to reduce emissions of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas.
As climate change pushes livestock, crop and tree production systems towards new realities, societies may seek more comprehensive solutions. Examples of truly radical adaptation — pre-emptive actions at scale that address the root causes of climate risks and reduce climatic footprint — are still ...
