Nuclear and Related Techniques for Climate Action in Food and Agriculture

Extreme weather events and shifting weather patterns are just some of the consequences of climate change. Agriculture, deeply reliant on climate stability, is facing far-reaching and grave challenges. Agrifood systems have the unique potential to tackle climate change and its impacts. Clear pathways exist for climate action across agrifood systems to build resilience to the impacts of climate change and to reduce the carbon footprint of expanding agrifood systems.
The Joint FAO/IAEA Centre of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture (Joint FAO/IAEA Centre) guides actions to transform agrifood systems towards greener and climate-resilient practices through the application of nuclear techniques and biotechnologies. These can be effective solutions to build resilience and mitigate emissions in the agri-food sector. By supporting and coordinating R&D activities, aimed at building, transferring technologies, and providing policy advice to countries, the Joint FAO/IAEA Centre aims to optimise and strengthen the capacities of countries in using nuclear techniques and biotechnologies, helping to improve agricultural resilience, and facilitating adaptation to the challenges posed by climate change.
