Synopsis (short abstract) 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.

    The Addressing Fisheries and Aquaculture in National Adaptation Plans Supplement provides technical guidance on the integration of fisheries and aquaculture in the formulation and implementation of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and complements FAO’s Addressing agriculture, forestry and fisheries in National Adaptation Plans – Supplementary guidelines (referred to as NAP-Ag Guidelines, FAO 2017a). It aims to draw the attention of policy makers and government officers responsible for NAP planning and processes generally, as well as fisheries and aquaculture officers at country level, specifically. It collates and analyses relevant information from fisheries and aquaculture to support the sector’s ability to take part in national climate change adaptation planning processes.

    National Adaptation Plan: Priorities for Agriculture and Food Security in Tunisia 2022
    Also available in:
    This flyer describes the "National Adaptation Plan" project aimed at strengthening the resilience of the agricultural sector (water, land, crops, livestock, fisheries, aquaculture and forestry), the rural community and food security by creating an enabling environment and adopting well-informed and integrated climate change adaptation programmes. To achieve this goal, knowledge, on the main adaptation and resilience options at all levels (institutional, social, investment and environment), will be generated and anchored in current and future national agricultural planning strategies.
