Workshop « Climate Chance »: Sustainable Agriculture

September 2016

Many workshops took place there for 3 days including one, with the intervention of our members.

Presentation of the workshop :

Climate Change already affects agriculture especially in southern countries. The development of a sustainable agriculture system could limit the negative environmental and socioeconomic impacts of Climate Change (by reducing the emissions of green house gases, adapting agriculture, improving food security, protecting small farmers and involving local populations). Through different examples at different scales, how can sustainable agriculture be a solution for global warming?
