What is the problem ? We have to increase food production in the face of climate change , we have to make vulnerable communities resilient and we have to do all this without increasing emissions.
What is the solution ? There are numerous climate smart technologies and practices.
What is the evidence? There are several examples in the ASEAN region where food production is increasing in the face of climate change even as producers adopt sustainable practices.
What is the caveat? People need to be convinced about the economic benefits of sustainable solutions
What should organisations do ? Banks should discuss sustainability with their clients, Companies need to work on sustainable supply chains and NGOs need to support small producers to make more money through sustainable practices.
