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.
