Harvesting agriculture’s multiple benefits: mitigation, adaptation, development and food security
FAO policy brief:
This paper states that already available farming practices offer some of the most promising options for cost effective, early action on climate change in developing countries and can have multiple benefits for climate change mitigation, adaptation, sustainable development and food security. It calls climate financing mechanisms to target agriculture, reward synergistic action and leverage investment for up-scaling in order to accelerate mitigation and adaptation actions. It aims to build confidence, capacity, and commitment for early action on agricultural mitigation and adaptation in developing countries, while meeting development and food security requirements.
