Summary

At the global level, agricultural, food, and forestry systems generate more than one-third of greenhouse gas emissions, thus significantly contributing to climate change. At the same time, these sectors are heavily affected by its consequences, particularly in the Global South. However, they also hold strong potential for adaptation and mitigation, notably through carbon sequestration in soils and biomass, which should be leveraged to establish synergistic actions.

This book questions and explores the diversity of strategies required at various scales —genetic, agricultural practices, public policies, trade, finance— to sustainably transform agricultural and food systems to cope with climate change. It emphasizes the urgency of systemic changes to bring about real transformations and anticipate shifts (e.g., the evolution of dominant agricultural models, reterritorialization, adaptation of food systems, loss reduction...), as well as the need to adapt these transformations to bioclimatic, socioeconomic, and political contexts.

Mobilizing nearly 150 scientists from both the Global North and South, this book highlights the central role of research in addressing one of the greatest challenges of our time.
