Climate Change/Food Security – Food Systems at Risk: Transformative Adaptation for Long-Term Food Security (Rebecca Carter, Namrata Ginoya, Richard Choularton, Tyler Ferdinand, Helen Ding and Parvathi Preethan, World Resources Institute)

This report examines how climate change is impacting agriculture and threatening national and global food systems, particularly in climate hotspots, and how these trends are projected to intensify over the coming decades. The report defines and details transformative adaptation for agriculture and why such longer-term, systemic approaches are needed to protect the lives and livelihoods of millions of small-scale farmers and herders. Transformative adaptation in agriculture promotes long-term resilience by continually shifting the geographical locations where specific types of crops and livestock are produced, aligning agricultural production with changing landscapes and ecosystems, and/or introducing resilience-building production methods and technologies across value chains.
