Resumen
Descripción
Extreme weather events and shifting weather patterns are just some of the consequences of climate change. Agriculture, deeply reliant on climate stability, is facing far-reaching and grave challenges. Agrifood systems have the unique potential to tackle climate change and its impacts.
The Joint FAO/IAEA Centre of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture (Joint FAO/IAEA Centre) guides actions to transform agrifood systems towards greener and climate resilient practices through the application of nuclear techniques and biotechnologies. These can be effective solutions to build resilience and mitigate emissions in the agrifood sector.
By supporting and coordinating R&D activities, aimed at building, transferring technologies, and providing policy advice to Member Countries, the Joint FAO/IAEA Centre aims to optimise and strengthen the capacities of Member Countries in using nuclear techniques and biotechnologies , helping to improve agricultural resilience, and facilitating adaptation to the challenges posed by climate change.
