Resumen
Descripción
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimates that over 820 million people in the world today are chronically hungry. If temperatures continue to rise, then progress towards eradicating hunger and ensuring the sustainability of our natural-resource base to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development will be at risk. Without action, the changing climate will affect food availability and hinder access to food by disrupting the livelihoods of millions of rural people.
Delivering on country commitments to transform food systems and promote sustainable agriculture can still create a world without hunger and malnutrition by 2030. But we must work urgently to transform agriculture through inclusive, multi-sectoral approaches that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build resilience of people and the planet. This booklet illustrates FAO’s commitment to innovating in agriculture and transforming its practices to meet the climate challenge and the Sustainable Development Goals.
