“SBSTA and Agriculture in
2016: Perspectives for Asia" webinar
Identification and assessment of agricultural practices and technologies toenhance productivity in a sustainable manner, food security andresilience, considering the differences in agroecological zones and farmingsystems, such as different grassland and cropland practices and systems

1. Climate change and the food security challenge
Climate change affects the four dimensions of food security
• food availability, • food accessibility,• the stability of food supply, and • the ability of consumers to
adequately utilize food including food safety and nutrition.
Smallholder farmers, forest dwellers, herders and fishers will be the most affected by climate change because of their limited capacity to adapt to its impacts.
795 million people are chronically undernourished (FAO et al., 2015).

2. Enhancement of productivity, cobenefits and trade-offs
To improve productivity and food security while capitalizing on the synergies between adaptation and other climatic concerns, FAO has developed a framework highlighting such potentialities: A sustainable agriculture that will address multiple needs and objectives for the benefits of the four dimensions of food security and nutrition
Climate-smart agriculture, forestry and fisheries (CSA) pursues the triple objectives of sustainably increasing productivity and incomes, adapting to climate change and reducing GHG emissions and enhancing removals where possible
SAVE and GROWpromotes the sustainable intensification of smallholder crop production
Several approaches fit this Framework

2. Enhancement of productivity, cobenefits and trade-offs
a holistic approach for all agricultural sectors, and their correlation
with food security and other human needs, would improve the
effectiveness of actions undertaken to manage climate change by addressing intrinsically linked challenges as one
Maximizing synergies and minimizing trade-offs

3. Agricultural practices and technologies to enhance sustainable productivity, increase resilience and food security for different agroecological zones and farming systems
There is no one-size-fits-all solutions
Module 3: Water management for CSA
Module 4: Soils and their management for CSA
Module 5: Sound management of energy for CSA
Module 6: Conservation and sustainable use of genetic resources for CSA
Module 7: Climate-smart crop production systems
Module 8: Climate-smart livestock
Module 9: Climate-smart forestry
Module 10: Climate-smart fisheries and aquaculture
Module 11: Improved post-harvest management and food chains for CSA
