Amid high hopes from the 27th Climate Conference of Parties (COP27) to deal with issues revolving around food and agriculture, which are responsible for one-third of global emissions, it

seems that the fundamental reforms needed to achieve global food security might still be sidelined on ‘Adaptation and Agriculture Day’. WHY IS THE DAY SIGNIFICANT: On Monday, an open letter

signed by groups representing 350 million small-scale food producers was published, calling for governments to increase support for adaptation and support a shift to more diverse methods of

farming that is less reliant on chemical fertilisers.
