Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Volatile food prices
• Recurrent droughts and floods
• Soil and water degradation
• Land grabs
• Climate change impacts on food production
• Ineffective agricultural research and extension services
• Lack of political support for sustainable agriculture
• Dependence on oil-intensive industrial monocropping

• Inadequate investment in sustainable agriculture

Mitigation Strategies

• Recommendations for G20 to prioritize investment in sustainable agriculture, particularly for women farmers.
• Recommendations for G20 to ensure donors deliver on commitments to the L’Aquila Food Security Initiative (AFSI) and the Global Agriculture & Food Security Program (GAFSP).
• Recommendations for G20 to support national governments and regional bodies to overhaul and expand extension systems.
• Promoting sustainable agriculture practices such as agroecology, low external input, agroforestry, organic agriculture, integrated crop and pest management, and water harvesting.
• Reforming agricultural research systems to prioritize sustainable methods and integrate farmers' knowledge.
• Reforming extension services to build farmers’ capacity and focus on sustainable methods.
• Advocating for policy reforms to support smallholder sustainable agriculture.
