February 04, 2015 at 03:08PM 2015: CIRAD takes a close look at the challenges facing agriculture in the wake of climate change

The issue of agriculture in the wake of climate change will be centre-stage in 2015. The high point of the year will be the 21st Conference of the Parties to UN Convention on Climate Change (COP21), in Paris-Le Bourget from 30 November to 11 December. This issue is particularly acute for developing tropical countries, with their large numbers of farmers and high poverty levels. In such countries, making their people less vulnerable and ensuring their food security are top priorities. To shed light on these questions, CIRAD teams will be expressing their expert opinions on the national and international stage throughout 2015.
