It took the form of desk-studies complemented with key informant interviews. Research results showed that climate change adds urgency to the need for adaptation in its widest sense in the natural resources sphere (agriculture, forestry, natural resources management, livestock and fisheries). The main message from the study is that not only is technical change for farm-level adaptation and mitigation needed, but also a change of policy and institutional regimes that govern agricultural production, value chains and natural resource management.Food securityClimatic changesFood security.Climatic changes.338.16Preissing John1870455Leeuwis Cees896390Hall Andy1870456Weperen W. van1870457Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910963061303321Facing the challenges of climate change and food security4478920UNINA
