What is the problem ?

The funding crisis will exacerbate at the exact time when the impacts of climate change will aggravate.

What is the solution ?

Improved practices, irrigation, seeds and preservation of nature.

What is the evidence?

Seeds resilient to climate change which show no yield loss

are being developed and being adopted by farmers.

What is the caveat?

Emissions in sectors such as energy and transport have to come down first. If they don’t the agriculture will come up against hard limits to adaptation.

What should organisations do ?

Organisations both in the public and private sector, need to accelerate research and deployment of climate technologies.
