Overview

Climate change has an ever increasing effect on food security. Harvests can be ruined by rapidly changing weather patterns which lead to droughts and floods. However, new tools developed by FAO help countries understand if their food supply will be affected by weather. These tools include:

 climate change   The Climate Change Impact Assessment Tool

 crop monitoring box   The Crop Monitoring Toolbox

  •  The Ex Ante Carbon-balance Tool provides ex-ante estimates of the impact of agriculture and forestry development projects on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and carbon sequestration, and their effect on the carbon balance.

The EC-FAO Programme on "Linking Information and Decision Making to Improve Food Security" is funded by the European Union and implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
