Feeding the world’s growing population and addressing climate change require us to transform our agrifood system – the way we produce, distribute, and consume food. While being part of the climate change problem, the agrifood system is also integral to its solution, holding enough potential for cost-effective mitigation options across countries.
This event discusses pathways for countries to build a low-emissions agrifood system that protects the environment, provides greater food security, and supports resilience.
