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. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.

Land issues are a significant challenge in African countries due to population growth, armed conflict, climate crises, governance problems, and major infrastructure projects, such as photovoltaic power plants which often encroach on agricultural land. For instance, Senegal's Kael solar power plant displaced numerous crop fields and grazing lands. The global rise in electricity demand intensifies competition for agricultural land and leads to deforestation. Agrivoltaic systems, which combine photovoltaic energy production with agricultural activities, offer a promising solution.
