    Safe and sustainable food systems in an era of accelerated climate change 2018
    The world is facing unprecedented global obstacles that affect the sustainability of food and agriculture systems and the livelihoods of smallholders and family farmers worldwide. Concurrent with increases in agriculture productivity, negative environmental impacts must not only be minimized, but reversed. This represents a paradigm shift in agriculture towards sustainable intensification that is prepared for shocks and change, such as climate variability and emerging and re-emerging food safety crises. This thematic brief for the First FAO/WHO/AU International Food Safety Conference outlines key emerging food safety challenges.

    Climate Change and Food Systems: Global assessments and implications for food security and trade 2015

    This book collects the findings of a group of scientists and economists who have taken stock of climate change impacts on food and agriculture at global and regional levels over the past two decades. The evidence presented describes how global warming will impact where and how food is produced and discusses the significant consequences for food security, health and nutrition, water scarcity and climate adaptation. The book also highlights the implications for global food trade. The evidence pres ented in the book is presented in a way that is widely accessible to policy decision makers and practitioners and makes a distinct contribution towards a greater science-policy interchange. Put together, the different analyses in the book paint a comprehensive perspective linking climate change to food, nutrition, water, and trade along with suggested policy responses.

    Making it count: increasing the impact of climate change and food security education programmes 2015

    The evidence is clear: to change behaviour ‘environmental education’ needs to change its focus – with less emphasis on knowledge and raising awareness (although still needed) and more on competency, action skills and problem solving (Marcinkowski, 2010). This report reviews the evidence base to establish which educational methods are proven to have an impact on behavior. The research is summarized and evaluated to develop a set of recommendations on how to better focus educational activities for maximum impact on individuals, local communities and the wider world. The challenge for educators now is to turn this evidence into reality; to develop and deliver educational resources and experiences that trigger long-term behavior change.
