This document discusses climate-smart agriculture and whether it can help combat climate change while ensuring food security and farmer prosperity. It notes that agriculture is both a driver and victim of climate change, and business as usual emissions from agriculture could account for around 50% of allowable emissions by 2050 to limit warming to 2°C.

The document defines climate-smart agriculture as not just a concept but an approach to feed the world and enhance ecosystems through sustainable practices. It argues for public-private science dialogue and solutions to reconsider supply chains and help reconnect with policymakers to address "wicked problems
