As regards mitigation, it highlights the potential achievable through dietary change (away from meat and dairy consumption), and of food waste reductions. Read Image Resource Climate change and agriculture: can market governance mechanisms reduce emissions from the food system fairly and effectively? This report examines what part market governance mechanisms (regulatory, fiscal, voluntary and information-related) can or could play in addressing GHG emissions from the food system, focusing on the two extreme ends of the supply chain – the process of agricultural production, and patterns of consumption. Read Resource Report: Climate change and agriculture: can market governance mechanisms reduce emissions from the food system fairly and effectively? This report examines what part market governance mechanisms (regulatory, fiscal, voluntary and information-related) can or could play in addressing GHG emissions from the food system, focusing on the two extreme ends of the supply chain – the process of agricultural production, and patterns of consumption. Read Resource Useful presentation: global burden of chronic diseases Read Resource Greenhouse Gas Action Plan: one year on progress report The UK agricultural industry has published its first report on progress made in delivering its Greenhouse Gas Action Plan. Read Resource People and the planet: Royal Society Report The Royal Society has published a new report arguing that the most developed and the emerging economies must stabilise consumption levels, then reduce them, to help the poorest 1.3 billion people to escape absolute poverty through increased consumption. Alongside this, education and voluntary family planning programmes must be supported internationally to stabilise global population. Read Resource Global Food Policy Report - IFPRI The International Food Policy Research Institute has launched its inaugural Global Food Policy Report, the first in a new annual series. The Report provides a comprehensive overview of major policy changes at the global, regional, national, and local levels, as well as their significance for food and nutrition security. Read Image Resource Two studies on biodiversity Two studies, one in Nature and the other in Science present evidence to demonstrate the importance of biodiversity in maintaining long term ecosystem productivity and sustainability. Read Resource Article: organic and conventional yields Another article that looks at organic versus conventional yields. It compares yields in both developed and developing world contexts and argues a. the case for a more nuanced approach to considering yield variations and b. for less dogmatism in the debate on sustainable agriculture.
