~* Online Learning:
Achieving sustainable food security in a world with a
growing population, changing diets and a changing climate is a major challenge.
More food is needed in the future but climate change means less food production
potential and poor people will be hit the hardest. Climate-related crop
failures, fishery collapses and livestock deaths already cause economic losses
and undermine food security, and these are likely to become more severe as
global warming continues.
The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture
and Food Security (CCAFS) seeks to overcome the threats to agriculture and food
security in a changing climate, exploring new ways of helping vulnerable rural
communities adjust to global changes in climate. CCAFS brings together the
world’s best researchers in agricultural science, climate science,
environmental and social sciences to identify and address the most important
interactions, synergies and trade-offs between climate change and agriculture.
CCAFS is implementing a uniquely innovative and transformative research program
that addresses agriculture in the context of climate variability, climate
change and uncertainty about future climate conditions.
Responses need to come quickly. CCAFS integrates and applies
the best and most promising approaches, tools and technologies. This initiative
can only be realized with improved interactions among scientists, researchers,
policy makers, civil society, and those who depend on agriculture for their
livelihoods. Both local and global action is needed to accelerate the sharing
of lessons on institutions, practices and technologies for adaptation and
mitigation, with serious commitment to working in partnership, enhancing
capacity and addressing societal differences. CCAFS is working across research
disciplines, organizational mandates, and spatial and temporal scales to help
address these pressing challenges.
~* Online Participation
I watched a video about The Effects of Climate Change in the
Future.
~* Online Collaboration
I have participated in our online discussion by doing and
absorbing the relevant tasks given to us and applying it to everyday life.
Also, by sharing my knowledge about it to other people.
