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. 606 $aFood security 606 $aClimatic changes 615 0$aFood security. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 676 $a338.16 701 $aPreissing$b John$01870455 701 $aLeeuwis$b Cees$0896390 701 $aHall$b Andy$01870456 701 $aWeperen$b W. van$01870457 712 02$aFood and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963061303321 996 $aFacing the challenges of climate change and food security$94478920 997 $aUNINA
