Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetClimate change: what does it mean for agriculture and food security 2017
Also available in:
No results found.Climate change will have severe negative effects on agriculture and food security. Low-income countries and poor farmers are particularly at risk. At the same time, agriculture is a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Agriculture has to both adapt to climate change and contribute to mitigation. This requires changes in agricultural practices as well as improvements in livelihood options for poor farm households. Changes in the broader food system are also needed, including reductions in food waste and losses and changes in dietary patterns to reduce their carbon footprint.This is Info note number 1 of 3 drawn from The State of Food and Agriculture 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).
The Info note 2 discusses the constraints to adoption of improved agricultural practices for mitigation and adaptation to climate change.
The Info note 3 addresses the policies, institutions and financing needed to address climate change in agriculture.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetImproved farming practices reduce impacts of climate change - but barriers to their adoptoin remain 2017
Also available in:
No results found.The broad adoption of improved farming practices can substantially reduce the number of people at risk of undernourishment; for example, the adoption of nitrogen-efficient crop varieties alone can reduce the risk to more than 120 million people. However, adoption of improved practices remains very low, even in areas where projects have heavily promoted them. Positive change will only come about when barriers to adoption – financial, institutional and policy constraints – are better understood an d removed.This is Info note number 2 of 3 drawn from The State of Food and Agriculture 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).
The Info note 1 presents the main contents of the report and discusses the changes needed in agriculture in order to respond to the ch allenge of climate change.

Book (stand-alone)Integrating Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation into the Watershed Management Approach in Eastern Africa 2017
Also available in:
No results found.Climate change is predicted to have a marked effect on the agricultural sector in Eastern Africa. However, there is considerable potential to adapt to climate change. This can be done within the framework of the watershed management approach. There are compelling reasons for systematically integrating climate change adaptation and mitigation into the watershed management. This publication concludes that there is a need to find ways of systematically doing this while being able to measure the ad aptation benefits for the inhabitants of these watersheds as well as the mitigation benefits accrued by the actions. It explains what is meant by integrating climate change adaptation and mitigation into the watershed management; describes the benefits; gives examples; and ultimately serves as a guide and advocacy tool for a greater focus on systematically integrating climate change adaptation and mitigation into watershed management, for environmental as well as social and economic benefits.
