Descripción
Climate change has brought with it increased climatic variation, changes in rainfall patterns and an increase in the incidence and potency of natural disasters around the world This has had major impacts on productive activities worldwide, especially those directly related to climate, natural cycles and ecosystem functions This is expected to have major consequences for agricultural, forestry, livestock, fisheries and aquaculture production systems, exacerbating the negative impacts of unsustainable practices and high carbon and water footprints It will also weaken the resilience of ecosystems and natural resources ( which are the basis for sustainable development and human survival The agrifood sector is also particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, while the agriculture, forestry and other land use sectors contribute significantly to greenhouse gas ( emissions in Latin America and the Caribbean ( For this reason, it is vital to optimize, coordinate and transfer knowledge in order to increase food production in a context of sustainability and resilience Given the current scenario, there is an urgent need to advocate for the fulfilment of commitments made in international agreements, to negotiate more ambitious emission reduction targets and to allocate technical and financial resources to agricultural production systems in order to implement actions that will help to fulfil the targets set.
