Adapting agriculture to climate change pub iis_cli iis_fag prog_luc adaptation; greenhouse; cropping; grazing; forestry The strong trends in climate change already evident, the likelihood of further changes occurring, and the increasing scale of potential climate impacts give urgency to addressing agricultural adaptation more coherently. There are many potential adaptation options available for marginal change of existing agricultural systems, often variations of existing climate risk management. We show that implementation of these options is likely to have substantial benefits under moderate climate change for some cropping systems. However, there are limits to their effectiveness under more severe climate changes. Hence, more systemic changes in resource allocation need to be considered, such as targeted diversification of production systems and livelihoods. We argue that achieving increased adaptation action will necessitate integration of climate change-related issues with other risk factors, such as climate variability and market risk, and with other policy domains, such as sustainable development. Dealing with the many barriers to effective adaptation will require a comprehensive and dynamic policy approach covering a range of scales and issues, for example, from the understanding by farmers of change in risk profiles to the establishment of efficient markets that facilitate response strategies. Science, too, has to adapt. Multidisciplinary problems require multidisciplinary solutions, i.e., a focus on integrated rather than disciplinary science and a strengthening of the interface with decision makers. A crucial component of this approach is the implementation of adaptation assessment frameworks that are relevant, robust, and easily operated by all stakeholders, practitioners, policymakers, and scientists. 2007 published National Academy of Sciences 10.1073/pnas.0701890104 XJ-07-094 PNAS; 104(50):19691-19696 [2007] [doi:10.1073/pnas.0701890104] Climate Change and Food Security Special Feature 1623 1183 public Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 104 50 19691-19696 TRUE 1091-6490 FALSE info:eu-repo/semantics/article
