The International Federation of Agricultural Producers (IFAP) has produced a document entitled: Climate Change: Farmers’ Solutions - Proposals for including agriculture in a post-Copenhagen agreement.
It argues that agriculture must be included in any agreement that emerges on climate change. It says that the specificity of agriculture needs to be acknowledged, that it has the potential to mitigate emissions but also needs support to adapt to a changing climate. An ambitious financing framework is needed and cheaper, more accessible and efficient technologies need to be made available to farmers.
IFAP represents over 600 million farm families grouped in 120 national organizations in 79 countries.
