Fixing the world’s climate ‘foodprint’ Anne Laure Constantin In the framework of the global climate talks, the international community is struggling to identify agriculture’s potential for helping to cool the climate. The discussions are complicated by scientifi c uncertainties that hamper decision-making. One thing is certain and unanimously recognised: agricultural production is vulnerable to climate change. Extreme weather events, as well as changes in average temperatures and precipitation levels, are aff ecting production capacities. A series of droughts in a few key grain-producing regions in 2006-07 contributed to the panic that led to the food price crisis last year. More than 1 billion people are suff ering from hunger in 2009, and the impact of climate change on food security is set to become more serious in the coming decades. Agriculture also contributes to climate change, although the extent needs to be better understood. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), agriculture’s contribution to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is approximately 12 per cent – the emissions are mainly methane and nitrous oxide. Figure 1 shows the main sources of emissions. 62 Critical Currents no. 6 Anne Laure Constantin joined the Geneva offi ce of the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP) in July 2006. Anne Laure came to IATP from the French Committee for International Solidarity, where she advocated on international agriculture and trade issues. She has a Master’s degree in international relations from the Sorbonne in France.
