Almost all countries look at agrifood systems as a primary consideration for
climate change adaptation (94%) and mitigation (91%) in their Nationally
Determined Contributions (NDCs). This finding is according to the latest
analysis of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
(FAO). NDCs are national climate action plans and the primary tool for
attaining the Paris Agreement's goals.



The FAO Agrifood Systems in Nationally Determined Contributions: Global
Analysis calls for the urgent attention of policymakers to address the
climate crisis and place agrifood solutions as the main priority. Thus, the
analysis provides vital information that can guide countries to improve
their plans and work on bridging the gaps in mitigation, adaptation, and
climate finance within agrifood systems. It offers an overview of major
climate-related risks and greenhouse gas hotspots in this sector and
synthesizes key adaptation and mitigation strategies.
