Agriculture and Rural Development Day (ARDD) 2010
ARDD 2010 is a one-day event that will show how agricultural development can contribute to low emission futures, while adapting to climate change and enhancing supporting sustainable food security.
Finding sustainable agriculture solutions to meet food security and climate challenges
ARDD 2010 is a one-day event that will show how agricultural development can contribute to low emission futures, while adapting to climate change and enhancing supporting sustainable food security. The ensuing messages together with those of Forest Day 4 will be presented jointly at an official COP side event.
Last year’s Agriculture and Rural Development Day had increased the focus on the link between agriculture, food security and climate change, as well as forestry. This year we will build on that success by identifying policies and practical solutions to reduce agriculture-related greenhouse gas emissions and strengthen global food security and rural development. The event will feature keynote speeches, roundtable discussions, a marketplace of ideas and exhibits.
