Climate change impacts agriculture, affecting food, health, and emissions. Due to varied impacts, local solutions face hurdles. To limit warming, we need evidence-based actions to reduce emissions and boost resilience.
Weather changes affect crops differently. Farmers adjust but face barriers like infrastructure. Better data and local solutions are important. Resilience means bouncing back from extreme weather.
Climate change forces farmers to seek new land, harming biodiversity. Sustainable practices like no-till farming boost production and income while preserving soil health.
Climate change may harm crops, but higher CO2 levels can boost growth. Resilient strategies and innovations are needed for food security. Low trade barriers are crucial. Flexible labour markets help displaced farmers.
Agricultural solutions cut emissions and boost resilience. Developing countries need support for adaptation and mitigation, including financial incentives and education for farmers.
To meet the 1.5C target, agriculture must act fast to reduce its carbon footprint by 2030. Delay risks major ecological shifts. We need holistic, location-specific strategies now, consulting with local communities.
