Synopsis (short abstract) The sustainable management and restoration of production systems –forests, agroforestry, rangelands, crops and grasslands– and their associated natural resources –water, soil, and biodiversity– provide multiple goods and services with ecological, social and economic benefits for land users and managers. Land users/managers – farmers, livestock keepers, foresters - who develop and maintain healthy soils and make effective use of water resources and biodiversity, have more means to adapt to clim ate change and are better buffered against extreme events such as drought.

    One hundred scientists, economists and policy experts participated in a three-day expert meeting (EM) to engage in a high-level, globally oriented, and multidisciplinary scoping of topics that climate change to land use and food security. The EM was structured around five themes: climate impacts and human-directed drivers of land change and linkages to food security; mitigation and adaptation options; and policies for resource management, smallholder resilience, mitigation and food and nutrition security. The present report offers a comprehensive synthesis of the EM findings and conclusions reflecting the collective view participants and external reviewers. The report is a valuable source for the IPCC above-mentioned Special Report, especially in relation to food security, as well to researchers and policy makers concerned with the policy implication of food security in relation to post-Paris climate action and Agenda 2030.
