Advancing on the global goal adaptation through agriculture and food system transformation: Policy guidance for addressing needs in agriculture and food systems

Global Food and Nutrition Security

These impacts are most pronounced in the agriculture and food systems, as increasing weather and extreme climate events have exposed millions of people to acute food insecurity and reduced water security. The most severe impacts are seen in developing countries, and globally among Indigenous peoples, small-scale food producers, and low-income households. There is an urgent need for agriculture and food systems to adapt to the changing climate to ensure accessible and affordable healthy food for all. Effective holistic measures across food systems can help to build climate resilience while providing mitigation as well as biodiversity benefits, enabling progress towards global goals for climate, nature, and sustainable development.
