    Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated.

    Sistemas silvopastoriles y su contribución al uso eficiente de los recursos y a los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible: Evidencia desde América Latina 2020
    Also available in:
    Este documento representa el esfuerzo conjunto entre dos redes de acción de la Agenda Global: (i) Cerrando la brecha de la eficiencia y (ii) la Red Global en Sistemas Silvopastoriles. Un marco de referencia para evaluar el uso de los recursos naturales es aplicado a una variedad de modelos de producción silvopastoril para determinar su productividad y sus beneficios socioeconómicos y ambientales. Se presenta una visión general de los SSP, sus principales características y ventajas en términos productivos, ambientales y climáticos, y su contribución a los ODS, describiendo los resultados de diez estudios de caso de adopción de sistemas silvopastoriles en diversos contextos en Colombia, México, y Argentina, concentrándose en la productividad de la tierra, producción de carne y leche, y desempeño económico a nivel de finca. Basados en los resultados, se presentan recomendaciones de política pública que sirvan para el escalamiento y promoción de los SSP en Latinoamérica y otras regiones.
