    The Water, Energy and Food Security Nexus: Solutions for the Green Economy

    Stockholm Environment Institute, 2011
    This paper for the Bonn 2011 Nexus Conference presents initial evidence for how a nexus approach can enhance water, energy and food security in a green economy by increasing efficiency, reducing trade-offs, and building synergies across sectors. It also underpins the policy recommendations, which are detailed in a separate paper.

    Forests and climate change in Latin America: linking adaptation and mitigation

    Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2011
    This paper examines opportunities for linking climate change adaptation and mitigation in tropical forests, and understanding the influence exerted by adaptation activities on the mitigation potential and vice-versa. Through case-studies in Latin America, the authors explore various approaches and motivations for linking adaptation and mitigation.

    The new competition for land: Food, energy, and climate change

    Science Direct, 2011
    This paper discusses the competition for land resources and the issue of land-use change due to the rising demand for food and energy, specifically for the transport sector. The linkages between land, food, and energy become particularly complex within the context of climate change.

    Trees on farms: Tackling the triple challenge of mitigation, adaptation and food security

    World Agroforestry Centre, 2009
    This short policy brief highlights three key points and provides various policy recommendations in relations to these: - Trees help fight climate change by storing carbon.- They buffer against weather-related production losses, enhancing resilience against climate impacts.- And trees on farms provide additional income and diversity of food sources through tree-based products.

    Agricultural technologies for climate change mitigation and adaptation in developing countries: policy options for innovation and technology diffusion

    International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development, 2010
    Climate Change exacerbates the already daunting challenges facing the agricultural sector, and this is particularly the case in developing countries. Innovations in agriculture have always been important and will be even more vital in the context of climate change.

    Technologies for climate change adaptation: agriculture sector

    United Nations [UN] Environment Programme, 2011
    The agriculture sector faces the challenge of providing adequate food to a growing world population. There is limited scope to expand arable land, and unpredictable weather, floods, and other disastrous events make food production even more challenging. This guidebook provides information on 22 technologies and options for adapting to climate change in the agriculture sector.

    The future of food and farming: challenges and choices for global sustainability

    Foresight UK, 2011
    The global food system will experience an unprecedented combination of pressures over the next 40 years. Global population size will increase and competition for land, water and energy will intensify, while the effects of climate change will become increasingly apparent. Over this period, globalisation will continue, exposing the food system to novel economic and political pressures.

    Agriculture and climate change: real problems, false solutions

    EcoNexus, 2009
    Agriculture plays an important role in climate change, both as a contributor emitting greenhouse gasses (GHGs) and as a potential reducer of negative impacts. This paper gives an overview of how current and proposed agricultural practices affect climate change and how the proposed measures for mitigation and adaptation impact agriculture.
