Description

Description	A voluntary, farmer-led, multi-stakeholder, action-oriented coalition committed to the incorporation of climate-smart approaches within food and agriculture systems.
Objectives	i. Sustainable and equitable increases in agricultural productivity and incomes; ii. Greater resilience of food systems and farming livelihoods; and iii. Reduction and/or removal of greenhouse gas emissions associated with agriculture (including the relationship between agriculture and ecosystems), where possible.
Activities	The work of the Global Alliance will focus on three initial action areas: knowledge, investment and enabling environment. Activities under these action areas include: i. Voluntary adoption of national strategies for the practice of climate-smart agriculture, within the context of national strategies for agriculture, food security and nutrition; ii. Development of systems that encourage all people to adopt climate-smart agriculture through accessing (a) expertise from other countries, (b) lessons from pilot studies and (c) resources needed to establish the necessary operating principles, extension services and farmer support schemes; iii. The engagement of businesses, foundations, development agencies and intergovernmental organizations in support of this government-led agenda - in ways that bring benefits to the people whose livelihoods are most threatened by climate change.
