The goal of the Community Waste Management Practice (COP - MRE) is to provide current perspectives, practices and trends and key technologies, and the opportunities of these technologies to mitigate climate change and improving the conditions of welfare and health of the population in a relevant sector in the transition to low-emission and climate resilient economies.
The agriculture sector supports lives and livelihoods in communities around the world. FAO estimates that small-scale farmers produce over 70% of the world's food needs. Helping farmers cope with climate change impacts, while also reducing the sectors greenhouse gas emissions, requires outreach to large and small-scale farm operations. Transferring technology in the farming sector both reduces vulnerability to climate change risks while increasing food security and enhancing the overall health and well-being of farming communities. Ranging from conventional to organic regenerative farming practices, agricultural technologies encompass tools and techniques to grow and process food crops consumed locally and traded around the world.
