USAID aims to enable the improved climate resilience of 500 million people by 2030. With more than 193 million people already experiencing acute food insecurity, there is great urgency to help the broader community understand how Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) relates to and supports food security. This webinar, hosted by Climatelinks on July 28, considered ways in which approaches to food security can be "climate proofed" and can contribute to USAID’s new Climate Strategy, highlighting important co-benefits that can advance other parts of the Climate Strategy in order to build resilient, prosperous, and equitable world with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions while addressing growing food insecurity around the world. This webinar offered insights into topics that relate to food security, including:
- Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) productivity;
- Innovative solutions USAID is using to reduce food loss and waste;
- Incorporating climate smart principles into humanitarian response; and
- Gender-responsive approaches in CSA
