 Our agri-food systems suffer from the impact of climate change but also contribute to the current climate crisis. We need to produce more food to meet the demand of the world growing population with less input and less impact on the environment. FAO is working with its members to harness the power of science, technology and innovation for climate action through many initiatives around the world. For example, remote sensing and automation can give early warning to hazards so communities can take early action to minimize damages. Financial innovations such as carbon credit and carbon markets which can connect small-scale farmers with financial resources that support climate-friendly practices. The FAO Science and Innovation Forum in October 2023 will also focus on science and innovation for climate action. I look forward to the COP28 which will provide an avenue for the world to work together to put agri-food systems at the center of solutions to the climate crisis.
