Guaranteeing Food Security in Times of (Climate) Change
CGIAR Climate's insight:
Analyses of climate impacts in LAC are becoming common, although they are usually performed on a small scale: a country, a single crop, or even a single region. An initiative prepared by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) and the IDB to promote sustainable growth in LAC – including environmental protection, adaptation to climate change, and food security promotion – is committed to addressing climatic vulnerability on a larger scale. The “Climate Change Vulnerability in the Agricultural Sector” project will contribute to a more thorough understanding of the effect of climate change on production and productivity of key crops in the entire LAC region, from Tijuana to Tierra del Fuego.
