  1. Climate Smart Agriculture : way forward for Food Security in a changing climate Alberto Sandoval FAO

  2. A triple Challenge • More food, in quantity, quality and diversity, everywhere for everyone • Adapt to Climate Change • Contribute to mitigate Climate Change

  3. Food and Nutrition Security • Availability • Accessibility • Utilisation • Stability

  4. Two ways to adapt • Getting more resilient to variability • Getting prepared to long term changes

  5. Two ways to mitigate • Reduce emissions per kg of output (decorrelate production growth and emissions growth) • Enhance agricultural soil carbons sinks

  6. Climate Smart Agriculture "Agriculture that sustainably increases productivity, resilience (adaptation), reduces/removes greenhouse gases (mitigation), and enhances achievement of national food security and development goals."

  7. Efficiency Efficient & resilient Food Systems Resilience

  8. Various Scales • At farm scale: • Increase efficiency/resilience • From a global point of view: • Produce where it is more efficient • Increase efficiency where there is the biggest efficiency gap, as compared to best usable practices • At local, national, regional scale • Often various objectives to be taken into account

  9. Various Dimensions • Biophysical • Economics • Social issues, gender, indigenous people • Cultural background Interact and interact with the various dimensions of Food Security

  10. Enabling policies and institutions • National level • Local level • Capacity building • Information • ICT • Extension services

  11. Financing and Investments • What investments (public, private) • What financing mechanisms are available? • How to combine them?

  12. Indicators • Income • Carbon in the landscape • Energy from fosil fuels • Stakeholder engagement

  13. Thank You
