FAO Paper and Policy Brief on Food Security and Agricultural Mitigation in Developing Countries


FAO has prepared a paper which underlines the need for more interrelated solutions to the interrelated challenges of food security and climate change. The paper addresses possibilities for maximizing synergies (mitigation and co-benefits) and minimizing trade-offs, as well as relevant financing options and their MRV requirements. Finally, it suggests possible steps at the international and national levels to enable country-led implementation processes. The paper should be seen as the beginning of a process of exploring issues related to the development of synergistic nationally appropriate mitigation action in the agriculture sectors of developing countries.

Based on this paper FAO also prepared a policy brief Harvesting agriculture's multiple benefits: Mitigation, Adapatation, Development and Food Security
for the Copenhagen summit, which says that farming practices that capture carbon and store it in agricultural soils offer some of the most promising options for early and cost-effective action on climate change in developing countries, while contributing to food security.
