Global food production under climate change and increased supply variability: Implications for trade policy and food security

5-6 November 2013, FAO Headquarters

The consultation featured top experts in biophysical and economic modeling on climate change who reported on their latest research on climate change impacts on future agricultural/food supply shifts at global and regional levels. The consultation also discussed proposed recommendations for knowledge dissemination and policy dialogue on food security under climate change.
