This cutting edge document clearly spells out:
- the link between food and agriculture and climate change
- how the current industrial system is a major contributor of CO2 emissions
- how GMOs and large-scale production of agro-fuels - promoted as ‘clean’ or ‘green’ energy - are a false solution and contribute to both climate change and food insecurity in the world.
- how ecological organic food and agriculture systems are a solution to the hazards of climate change by resilience, mitigation and adaptation
these reasons are why agriculture must be included in the Copenhagen Kyoto 2 climate negotiations
* The Commission will convey the results of the Manifesto campaign to the G8 summit in Sardinia (July 2009) and to the Copenhagen Kyoto 2 climate negotiations (December 2009).
