No results found.Sustainable crop production intensification, here defined as the integration of biological and ecological processes into cropping, optimization of the use of non-renewable inputs and improvement of farmers’ knowledge, faces particular threats from climate change. Although crop production systems are already responding to challenges to seed systems, horticultural practices, genetic diversity and the management of pests and soil health, there is a need for better coordination between policymakers, farmers and other intermediaries to provide more timely, relevant technological and knowledge inputs to adapt to medium- and long-term climate change scenarios. Drawing on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Least Developed Countries Expert Group (LEG) National Adaptation Plans Technical Guidelines and the Supplementary Guidelines Addressing agriculture, forestry and fisheries in National Adaptation Plans, this briefing note identifies the entry points at the national level to plan and budget for adaptation actions for the crop production sub-sector to respond to medium- and long-term climate change threats.

No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary.
