Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetEnhancing knowledge on climate change mitigation and adaptation for food security and nutrition 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Recognizing that partnerships can enhance and facilitate opportunities that foster research and education projects for developing capacities, FAO and Université Laval, in partnership since 2017, are leveraging their technical expertise and resources to advance actions in the areas of agroforestry, climate change mitigation and adaptation, food safety, and food security and nutrition. This cooperative venture is advancing the uptake of innovative tools and resources to help governments and policymakers overcome new global challenges brought on by climate change, including through combating desertification. The partnership is further contributing to the preparation and training of the next generation of climate change professionals necessary for a future of food security. -
Journal, magazine, bulletinSoil organic carbon and nitrogen: Reviewing the challenges for climate change mitigation and adaptation in agri-food systems
ITPS Soil Letters # 2
2021Also available in:
No results found.Carbon and nitrogen participate directly in a wide variety of soil processes that are key to the food system and for the provision of ecosystem services. Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the main indicator of soil health and constitutes the backbone of the molecules that, together with nitrogen, build soil organic matter (SOM), which is responsible for much of the multifunctional nature of soils, optimizing soil health and productivity. Furthermore, the use of reactive nitrogen in agriculture is essential for plant growth and food security. However, the adverse effects of nitrogen use in agriculture impose global challenges that add to other major challenges such as global population growth, urban expansion, dietary shifts, climate change and soil degradation. This second issue of the ITPS letters explores how an integrated and joint nitrogen management framework, in conjunction with recarbonization programmes, can contribute to unlocking the potential of cropped soils to mitigate and adapt to climate change. -
