Achieving food security in the face of climate change

0

ccafs.cgiar.org –

On a planet with sufficient food for all, a billion people go hungry. Another billion over-consume, increasing risks from chronic diseases. The food system faces additional pressure as the global population grows, to around 9 billion by 2050, and as diets shift towards higher consumption of calories, fats and animal products. Food insecurity afflicts communities throughout the world wherever poverty prevents assured access to food supplies. As well as causing widespread human suffering, food more...

Achieving food security in the face of climate change

0

ccafs.cgiar.org –

The Commission on Sustainable Agriculture and Climate Change has reviewed the scientific evidence to identify a pathway to achieving food security in the context of climate change. Food systems must shift to better meet human needs and, in the long term, balance with planetary resources. This will demand major interventions, at local to global scales, to transform current patterns of food production, distribution and consumption. Investment, innovation, and deliberate effort to empower the more...

Farming's climate-smart future: Placing agriculture at the heart of climate change policy

0

ccafs.cgiar.org –

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 more...

Mapping hotspots of climate change and food insecurity in the global tropics

0

ccafs.cgiar.org –

This study was coordinated by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) to identify areas that are food insecure and vulnerable to the impacts of future climate change, across the priority regions for the CGIAR centres.The study relied on maps: first, of variables that indicate the different aspects of food security (availability, access and utilization), and second, of thresholds of climate change exposure important for agricultural systems.In terms of more...

Lessons from REDD+ for Agriculture

0

ccafs.cgiar.org –

The history of Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) can inform agricultural climate change mitigation. Drawing on interviews with 32 experts and review of the literature, this rapid assessment study summarizes lessons in six areas necessary for a successful global mechanism for agricultural mitigation.

Provisional Medium Term Plan: 2010–2012 Challenge Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security

0

ccafs.cgiar.org –

This Challenge Program provides a framework to facilitate new research on the interactions between climate change, agriculture and food security. It introduces a new partnership between the international agricultural research and Earth systems science communities which will create unique possibilities in the search for solutions to the climate change/food security problem. Research will build on the ongoing activities of both communities, but will go beyond core center research or what is more...
