THE STATE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE Climate change, agriculture and food security
Climate change is a growing threat to the agriculture sectors. The negative effects on agricultural production and livelihoods of farmers, foresters and fisher folk are already being felt in many places. They will only get worse overtime. Unless climate change is addressed, agricultural productivity will decline with serious implications for food security. Millions of low-income people will be at risk of hunger and poverty. The agriculture sectors also contribute to climate change due to their emissions of greenhouse gases. In the Paris Agreement on climate change, concluded in December 2015, the international community has recognized the need for urgent action and the role of the agricultural sectors in addressing this challenge. It is essential that the country pledges that formed the basis of the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change are turned now into action.

Climate change affects agriculture... Changes in precipitations patterns
Increased frequency of dry spells and drought
Increasing intensity of extreme weather events
Rising temperatures
Rising sea levels
All these effects have negative impacts on the productivity of crops, livestock, fisheries and forestry

...and agriculture sectors are major contributors to climate change
Agriculture sectors
Total emissions
Taken together, agriculture, forestry and land-use account for at least 20% of total emissions, mainly from the conversion of forests to farmland and from livestock and crop production
Climate change impacts: who is paying the costs? The effects of climate change on agricultural production will have negative effects on developing countries, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa and South and Southeast Asia
Productivity declines could have serious implications for food security.
Millions of low-income people who are already highly food insecure, are likely to be affected. Smallholder producers are amongst the most vulnerable
