Smallholders in developing countries produce, on a very rough estimate, 5% of total global greenhouse gas emissions. This figure includes emissions due to both agriculture and land use change for agriculture. Mitigation actions in smallholder agriculture now could support farm livelihoods and mor...

A rough estimate of the proportion of global emissions from agriculture due to smallholders
Countries vary in their institutional technical and financial abilities to prepare for climate change in
agriculture and to balance food security, adaptation, and mitigation goals.Indicators for climate readiness provide guidance to countries and enable monitoring progress. Readiness assessments ...
This brief addresses the major challenges and opportunities to financing climate change mitigation and adaptation pathways for smallholder farmers in developing nations.

Carbon prices, climate change mitigation & food security: How to avoid trade-offs?
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...

KEY FINDINGS
Cattle producers joined sustainability initiatives primarily to increase production, reduce production costs, learn new practices and access innovations, and because of their interest in sustainability.
Farmers who shifted to sustainable intensification practices increased their prod...
POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS
Build on market development lessons from the coffee sector to enhance sustainability, quality, traceability, and branding in the cattle sector.
Expand sustainability initiatives’ capacity to deliver market access, technical assistance, and finance services to more cattle fa...
