Agriculture in India contributes close to 20% of GDP and employs 44% of the workforce. Of these agricultural workers, 55% are women, and this percentage is likely to increase as women have fewer opportunities than men to find non-farm jobs. On top of that, women face significantly more barriers and constraints in accessing natural resources such as water and land because – despite significant legal and social efforts – the land rights of women are not widely acknowledged.

Rice production is an integral commodity to global food security, but it also contributes considerably to greenhouse
gas emissions (GHG). There are a variety of options to mitigate GHG emissions from paddy rice production but the
impacts and opportunities to finance such activities are not well-known or well-understood for global investors, and
much remains to be done to ensure that international climate finance can be used to attract private sector

Kenya therefore is of the view that the implementation of agriculture and food security issues in the Sharm -El Sheikh Joint Work on Implementation of climate action on agriculture and food security requires: enhance support of the means of implementation through coordinated actions, and partnerships that will support context-specific policies and measures, driven by science, and local and Indigenous knowledge.

"Shamba Shape Up" is a popular television show in East Africa that focuses on agricultural education and improvement. The show features a team of experts who visit different farms, providing practical demonstrations and advice to farmers on various aspects of agriculture, such as livestock rearing, crop cultivation, farm management techniques, and sustainable practices. It aims to educate and empower farmers with valuable information and skills to enhance productivity, increase yields, and improve their livelihoods.

This analysis is composed of two parts. The evolving structure of Kenya’s agrifood system (AFS) and its contribution to national development is assessed using a series of Social Accounting Matrixes (SAMs) for Kenya for the period 2009–2019. Economic performance is also assessed at subsector level to better understand the contributions of different agrifood value chains to Kenya’s development and economic transformation in recent years.

Gender Equality, Climate Change and Agriculture in the MENA region: Priorities and Possibilities.

This submission is made in accordance with paragraph 18 of decision 3/CP.27 on operationalization of the online portal referred to in paragraph 16 of the above decision for consideration by the Subsidiary Bodies at their fifty-eighth sessions (June 2023).

This is a report on an innovation packaging exercise for the Munda makeover innovation. Munda makeover innovation packaging is being implemented by the Alliance of Bioversity International and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (ABC) and partners. It is part of the work under the Diversification in East and Southern Africa (Ukama Ustawi) Regional Integrated Initiative of the CGIAR.

Even an approximate estimate of the amount of investment required globally to reconfigure food systems for resilience and sustainability in the face of climate change could help to catalyse the urgent action that is needed. A report published in 2020 set out eleven actions that were identified as being needed to reconfigure food systems. Here we estimate the annual cost of implementing these eleven actions to be USD 1.3 ± 0.1 trillion.

This brief conducts benefit-cost analysis for key climate-smart practices to support agenda setting for the attainment of National mitigation targets under Nepal’s updated NDC and Net-Zero strategy.

Poster 1: This poster describes the links between improving soil health and climate-smart agriculture (CSA). It illustrates the three pillars of CSA and gives examples of practices under each which either involve improved soil management activities or contribute to enhanced soil health.

To leverage agriculture's potential to better benefit both people and nature, policymakers need clear messages about which farming practices positively impact biodiversity and yields, and when trade-offs arise. Existing reviews analyse effects of different agricultural practices on either biodiversity or yield, without considering interactions.
