Workshop Development of agricultural systems and climate smart agriculture in developing countries
The workshop will discuss challenges and opportunities for more efficient agriculture in the long term, contributing to thinking beyond Cancun and The Hague. It will also explore synergies between adaptation, mitigation and biodiversity to respond to competing pressures on land and water from agriculture, forests and other ecosystems, growing population and urban expansion, as well as energy needs.

It will also explore synergies between adaptation, mitigation and biodiversity to respond to competing pressures on land and water from agriculture, forests and other ecosystems, growing population and urban expansion, as well as energy needs.
The focus will be on analysis of opportunities and constraints of agriculture-environment nexuses; this should consider climate change adaptation, efficient management of inputs (including nutrient, land and water management); waste management, development of low carbon agriculture and farming with an ecosystem approach.
