A vision for transforming agriculture under climate change
Enabling policy
Two-way extension enabled by big data
Climate advisory services and early
warning
Strong farmer organisations and
networks
Index-based insurance
Climate-adapted and low-emission
technologies
Lower emissions in fields/ landscapes/
supply chains
Enabled business activity; significant
PPPsDriving
agricultural
transformation
What is the Agriculture Advantage?
The Land and Water Advantage• Solutions to maximize the productive use of water (e.g. solar
water pumps, rainwater harvesting) which enhance resilience.
• Drought, heat and pest tolerant varieties (e.g. potato and sweetpotato can now be developed in 4 years, and many mature in 90-100 days).
• Securing land and water rights to mobilize investment.
The Gender Advantage
• Incentives for women improves household nutrition and food security.
• Feminization of agriculture can drive transformation – e.g. women are 43% of agricultural
laborers and over 60% in SSA, South Asia and Oceania)
• Increase in women’s participation can result in agricultural transformation, including faster and equitable economic growth.
The Low Emissions Advantage
Urgent need for climate action and climate finance:
24% of emissions come from agriculture, yet
agriculture receives only 2.5% of public climate finance.
• Financing for climate change mitigation in agriculture is increasing, but at small scales.
• Many low emissions options improve:• Long-term agricultural
productivity• Incomes for farmers and
along value chain • Resilience

The Policy Advantage
• Engaging at the science-policy interface can supportoperationalization of policies and programs to deliver action on-the-ground.
• Multi-level—from community to national to global—and multi-sector—food-water-climate-energy-banking-ICT-finance-(among others) nexus.
I. Stock-taking II. Prioritizing interventions
IV. Informing design & implementation
III. Supporting piloting
The Breeding Advantage• Many crops will suffer greatly from 2oC warming (e.g. 60% of bean
growing areas could become unsuitable this century).
• Crop breeding is at the front line of adapting agriculture to climate change– Global initiatives grounded in farmers needs can deliver climate-smart
varieties, given sufficient resources.
• Genetic resources form the backbone for adaptation, providing traits farmers need to confront heat, drought and changing pest/disease pressures.
The Business Advantage
• For every $1 in ODA there is $24 in domestic private sector spent.
• Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) can scale up climate actions and improve livelihoods.
• Blending public and private finance can deliver greater impact.

PPPs Priorities for
realising the
agriculture
advantage
Agriculture decision• “jointly address issues related to agriculture, including through
workshops and expert meetings”
• “Invites Parties ……. their views on elements to be included in the work …..starting with but not limited to the following :– Methods and approaches for assessing adaptation, adaptation co-
benefits and resilience; – Improved soil carbon, soil health and soil fertility … water
management; – Improved nutrient use and manure management– Improved livestock management systems– Socioeconomic and food security dimensions of climate change in the
agricultural sector
