Synopsis (short abstract)

This booklet summarizes the main information and conclusions of the State of Food and Agriculture (SOFA) 2016 report.

to make agriculture more sustainable, productive and resilient, climate

Unless action is taken now to make agriculture more sustainable, productive and resilient, climate change impacts will seriously compromise food production in countries and regions that are already highly food-insecure. The Paris Agreement, adop ted in December 2015, represents a new beginning in the global effort to stabilize the climate before it is too late. It recognizes the importance of food security in the international response to climate change, as reflected by many countries focusing prominently on the agriculture sector in their planned contributions to adaptation and mitigation. To help put those plans into action, this report identifies strategies, financing opportunities, and data and information needs. It also describes t ransformative policies and institutions that can overcome barriers to implementation.
