To further these changes, appropriate policies and institutions are needed that align agricultural development, food security and climate objectives. They also have to be supported by financial resources, which must be used strategically to ensure maximum impact.This is Info note number 3 of 3 drawn from The State of Food and Ag riculture 2016. Climate change, agriculture and food security. For sources and more detail, please refer to the complete report (available at www.fao.org/3/a-i6030e.pdf).

Book (stand-alone)The State of Food and Agriculture 2016 (SOFA): Climate change, agriculture and food security 2016
The 2016 SOFA report presents evidence on today and tomorrow’s impact of climate change on agriculture and food systems. The report assesses the options to make agriculture and food systems resilient to climate change impacts, while minimizing environmental impacts. It shows that making agriculture and food systems sustainable is both economically and technically feasible. However barriers to the adoption of appropriate technologies and management practices will have to be lowered, especially for smallholder farmers and women farmers amongst them. Likewise, an overhaul is needed of agricultural and food policies to shift incentives in favour of investments, worldwide, in sustainable technologies and practices.
