We understand that the looming threat of climate change (CC) is risking food/nutrition security in general in marginal settings and of forest-dependent communities in particular. At the same time, CC related risks has further hightened the debate around role of forests in sustainable development, for foresst as sink of Green House Gases(GHGs) have a key role in CC mitigation and well-developed forest-based GHGs sink can help avert risks of CC, including around food security & nutrition.
At the same time there is need to scope, invest in and promote innovative agricultural/livestock skills,practices & technologies that will help mitigate CC on one hand and smoothen paradigm shift to Green economy on the other. Use of clean technologies in agriculture is one such area.
