The aim of this report is to encourage the agriculture and climate communities to find common, integrated, and systemic responses to one of the most urgent questions for humanity: How to develop climate-resilient and sustainable food systems in times of multiple crises that are threatening global food security? Today’s planet is facing a number of systemic crises that are closely interlinked with each other. One of the most dramatic examples is the interdependency between the global food system and the drastic change of the global climate.

The climate crisis exacerbates hunger, biodiversity loss, and the degradation of land and water resources. Thus, climate change threatens agriculture and disrupts the global food system, thereby multiplying existing risks in the system. For example, changing rainfall patterns cause higher frequency and severity of droughts and floods, posing immense challenges to farmers in all world regions.
