Since the first Agriculture Day in 2009, a consortium of the world’s most influential agricultural groups, including research, civil society, the private sector, and farmers groups, have joined to successfully raise awareness of the role of agriculture in the climate debate. Now, agriculture has received increased recognition in the climate change negotiations under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and the event (the 5th in this series) has evolved to include Agriculture, Landscapes and Livelihoods. This year’s event ‘Agriculture, Landscapes and Livelihoods Day 5: Solutions for People in Drylands and Beyond’ aims to add value to the climate debate, and help discussions progress by leveraging the collective expertise and knowledge that consortium members and event participants bring to the table.
