Sécurité alimentaireAccess by all people at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life.Index. décimale : 363.8 Approvisionnement en denrées alimentaires Résumé : Two key challenges facing humanity today stem from changes within global food and climate systems.
The 2008 food price crisis and global warming have brought food security and climate change to the top of the international agenda. Agriculture plays a significant role in both and these two challenges must be
addressed together, rather than in isolation from each other.
Farmers will need to feed a projected population of 9.1 billion in 2050. Meeting this demand together
with challenges from climate change, bioenergy and land degradation puts enormous pressure on the
agricultural sector to provide food, feed and fibre as well as income, employment and other essential
ecosystem services. Making changes to agricultural production systems, particularly amongst
smallholders, is a key means of meeting this objective. Such changes also have implications for
adaptation and mitigation in the agricultural sector.
The paper explores potential synergies between food security, adaptation and climate change mitigation
from land-based agricultural practices in developing countries, which could help to generate the multiple
benefits needed to address the multiple demands placed on agriculture. It indicates promising mitigation
options with synergies, options that involve trade-offs, possible options for required financing, and
possible elements in designing country implementation processes.
Key conclusions of the paper include:
• A more holistic vision of food security, agricultural mitigation, adaptation and development is needed
if synergies are to be maximized and trade-offs minimized. This needs to be mainstreamed into global
agendas and national strategies for addressing climate change and food security.
• Realizing the synergies and minimizing trade-offs between agricultural mitigation and food security
will require financing for up-front investments, opportunity costs and capacity building. Current levels
of agricultural investment are inadequate to meet these and other costs.
• The magnitude of potential financing for land-based mitigation, relative to overall investment
requirements for agriculture, indicate that leveraging mitigation finance to support climate smart
agricultural development strategies and investments will be necessary to capture synergies between
mitigation, adaptation and food security.
• There is currently no consensus on measuring, reporting and verification (MRV) for financing
mechanisms, but decisions in this regard would affect the costs and viability of different agricultural
mitigation activities.Food Security and Agricultural Mitigation in Developing Countries: Options for Capturing Synergies [document électronique] / FAO - Organisation de Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture, Auteur . - 2009 . - 76 p.
