Adapting Pacific Agriculture and Forestry to Climate Change: Management Measures and Investments

The previous chapters have focused attention on specific crops, livestock and forestry, and attempted to identify the impacts according to projected climate change conditions. Expected economic, livelihood and food security impacts were also discussed. Concrete recommendations for specific sub-sectors and sectors were covered in these chapters. This chapter draws together this information and recommends adaptation approaches to maximise the contribution of agriculture and forestry to economic development, food security and livelihoods in a changing climate.
