Food-security interventions are a vehicle for climate change mitigation

Abstract

Chronic food insecurity and land degradation are global issues. The Ethiopian food security program tackles endemic chronic food insecurity through a program* that links food aid to land and ecosystem restoration projects designed to restore the productive capacity of rural communities.

Cornell University is developing and applying novel cost effective methods for impact assessment, baseline data generation, monitoring, and verification, which are key to unlocking climate finance opportunities for landscape- and regional-scale projects.
