Using an open-source land-use model, @AbhiMishr et al. project that ending deforestation by 2030 could help avoid 167 million ha of #deforestation by 2050.
However, this could lead to increased conversion of unprotected non-forested land to agriculture: doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ad…

2/2 Similar with food system transformation. Min of Ag is not enough. Key to involve central strategic units often housed in Ministries of Plan/Finance. These technical units are important for moving forward long term, multi-sectoral processes.

1/2 A problem with the response to CC was that it was often coordinated out of the Ministry of Environment, which could raise alarms but was not positioned to handle the major multi-sectoral shifts that an adequate response to CC requires.

Impacts of climate change on food systems are highly complex and difficult to anticipate but are likely to be profound, driving increases in hunger and poverty. But investments in ag research, irrigation, and rural infrastructure can offset these impacts: bit.ly/3j1kJ6l

Question 1: How will climate change impact global #FoodSecurity, food trade, and livelihoods? #FoodSystemsChat

Trade is the easier part. Trade is a key adaptation to climate change. Broadly, well-functioning trade circuits mean more food security. With CC, we should see more trade and changing trade patterns as production patterns shift.
