Conservation agriculture promises economic and environmental benefits.

C. Sustainable farm management practices and conservation agriculture to foster carbon storage

Through conservation agriculture practices, farmers contribute to reducing emissions while combating land degradation.

Food safety in rural areas Agro processing Information exchange soils, climate and conservation agriculture.

Therefore, adopting conservation agriculture contributes to changing farmlands from net carbon sources to net sinks.

Most of the adaptation options identified for agriculture relate to crop management, land management, and soil and water conservation.

For example, switching from traditional till agriculture to a more climate friendly agricultural practice such as conservation agriculture may result in decreased crop yields for the first few seasons while farmers perfect their techniques.

UNIDO also works on manufacturing conservation agriculture technologies, mainly water harvesting and zero tillage, bamboo and oil palm plantations and downstream oil.

Reaffirming its support for the initiative of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and relevant regional and subregional fisheries management organizations and arrangements on the conservation and management of sharks, while noting with concern that only a small number of countries have implemented the International Plan of Action for the Conservation and Management of Sharks, adopted by the Food and Agriculture Organization in 1999,

In order to remedy the situation, countries are starting up activities in the areas of market gardening, agroforestry, soil conservation, the establishment of cereal banks and the promotion of non traditional agriculture.

Water scarcity could be addressed through modern water conservation techniques in agriculture (such as drip irrigation, on farm water management, lining of watercourses and canals, etc.) and through more traditional techniques (such as rainwater harvesting).

The ecosystem approach is applied by most organizations, including the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the GEF.
