Some food for thought


Agriculture is the most important emitter of global greenhouse gases. It is also the sector that has the potential to transcend from being a problem to becoming an essential part of the solution to climate change provided there is a more holistic vision of food security, agricultural mitigation, climate-change adaptation and agriculture’s pro-poor development contribution. 

UNCTAD published an interesting Discussion Paper (No. 201), authored by Ulrich Hoffmann, entitled Assuring Food Security in Developing Countries under the Challenges of Climate Change: Key Trade and Development Issues of a Fundamental Transformation of Agriculture.
