What is at stake for agriculture at COP21? Photograph: FAO

No other sector is more sensitive to climate change than agriculture. In a new UNFAO podcast, we take a look at what’s at stake for agriculture at the Paris climate conference. Experts discuss climate smart agriculture, the threats to food production in developing countries, and the investments needed to help countries adapt to climate change.

Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland, president of the Mary Robinson Foundation, and UN Special Envoy on Climate Change, joins Martin Frick, director of FAO’s climate, energy and tenure division, and Leslie Lipper, senior environmental economist in FAO’s agricultural development economics division, to discuss how agriculture and food systems can be made sustainable and adapt to global warming.
