NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
The overall aim of this Theme is to build adaptive capacity and food systems that are more resilient to progressive climate change through the provision of technologies, practices and policies. Promising adaptation options will be identified and evaluated, and through modeling approaches their efficacy will be quantified in relation to expected future conditions. Research will examine the processes required for promising adaptation options to function (i.e. understanding and harnessing of social, economic, cultural and institutional processes of adaptation), and together will be used to provide plans and strategies to establish detailed adaptation pathways of food systems at the national, regional and global level. The Theme will also provide a portfolio of adaptation options (including agricultural technologies, agronomic practices and community- to global level policies) that typify how food systems will adapt to a 2O3O world and beyond. Specifically, the Objectives are to:
• Analyze and design processes to support adaptation of farming systems in the face of future uncertainties of climate in space and time. A key new component will be the development of improved choices, and integration of crop, livestock, fish, agroforestry and natural resources management approaches;
• Develop breeding strategies for addressing abiotic and biotic stresses under future climate change, including changes in the mean and variability of climate. The intention here is to try and stay ahead of future change;
• Identify and enhance deployment and conservation of species and genetic diversity for increased resilience and productivity under conditions resulting from climate change. This has the additional benefit of protecting long-term biological and cultural diversity
