Farming's climate-smart future argues that to realise the potential of climate-smart agriculture, international climate change negotiations must lead to policies that create incentives for farmers, help finance projects and fund continued agricultural research. "The creation of a work programme [under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change] would put agriculture at the heart of climate change negotiations and policy-making, ensuring that it makes a full contribution to both adaptation and mitigation without prejudicing food production and poverty alleviation," the book concludes. "A work programme would also ensure that agriculture has full access to climate change finance."
