Amid a worsening climate crisis and slow progress in cutting greenhouse gases, sustainable agrifood systems practices can help countries and communities to adapt, build resilience and mitigate emissions, ensuring food security and nutrition for a growing global population.
FAO is working with countries and partners from government to community level to simultaneously address the challenges of food security, climate change and biodiversity loss.
But none of this will ultimately succeed unless the world commits to a significant increase in the quality and quantity of climate finance.
