Climate Technologies for Agrifood Systems Transformation: Placing Food Security, Climate Change and Poverty Reduction at the Forefront

Resource Description

This report explores how climate technologies can transform agrifood systems to support mitigation, adaptation, and food security. It identifies key technologies, investment needs, and enabling conditions to scale action across value chains.

Why This Matters

Agrifood systems are major emissions sources and climate-vulnerable. Scaling climate technologies is essential for achieving climate and development goals, especially in low- and middle-income countries.

Key Insights

  • Defines climate technologies as innovations that cut emissions, boost resilience, and support sustainable food production
  • Covers five areas: soil and crop management, livestock, food processing, supply chains, and digital tools
  • Emphasizes the need for de-risking instruments and blended finance to attract private capital
  • Highlights inclusive innovation, capacity building, and enabling policies
  • Notes uneven adoption across regions due to cost, policy, and infrastructure barriers
