About

FAO/S.ElliotClimate change poses a major challenge to food and agriculture. Ensuring that food systems feed everybody while guaranteeing sustainable management of resources is the goal to be reached.

But is mankind prepared to face this challenge?  Are we ready to change business as usual?

What is ceratin is that to achieve food security, adaptation to climate change is a must. Reducing our global impact on the climate requires drastic changes in agriculture and land use.

Two goals that must be achieved together.

This blog provides an inside look at the work of the Food and Agriculture Organization  of the United Nations (FAO) on climate change: updates on events, insights on international programmes and field projects.

The views expressed in this blog are my own and that of FAO staff working on climate change issues and do not necessarily represent FAO’s views, positions, strategies or opinions. – Peter Holmgren Director, Climate, Energy and Tenure division, FAO
