Support for the Agriculture Innovation Mission for Climate (AIM for Climate) has the support of thirty nations and the U.N. Food and Agricultural Organization.  Commenting on the U.N. Food System Summit, Secretary Tom Vilsack stated, “The climate crisis threatens to disrupt food systems around the globe, exacerbate food insecurity and negatively impact farmer’s livelihoods.  We must invest in innovative, science-based solutions to help agriculture mitigate and adapt to climate change.” 

AIM for Climate will be officially launched at the 26th U.N. Climate Change Conference in Glasgow in November.  The FAO intends to apply recent science, technology and innovation and will disseminate solutions to increase agricultural productivity in the face of global warming.
