We then use this framework to compare the net market and spillover benefits of three case studies of circular technologies: low-opportunity cost feeds in egg production systems in the Netherlands, biodigesters on dairy farms in Uruguay, and bonechar fertilizer production in Ethiopia.

Exposure and vulnerability to climate hazards in areas of high rural poverty create an urgent need for adaptation. Poor rural areas and people experience higher limits to adaptation and thus higher costs in achieving effectiveness, as well as greater risk of incurring losses and damages where adaptation is insufficient. Mitigation measures in the agriculture, forestry and land use (AFOLU) sector could impose large, underestimated costs in the form of foregone opportunities for improved livelihoods. Past and current emission levels associated with wealth and opportunity are highly unequally distributed. The constrained additional carbon space to remain under 1.5 or 2 degrees of global warming mandates low emissions development pathways, requiring investments of trillions of dollars per year. Financing currently available is neither sufficient nor provided under the terms required to support a Just Transition. Overcoming these challenges requires building political will through explicit recognition and widespread communication of how climate change response can further disadvantage the poorest people in the global community. It requires revisiting distributional implications of methodologies for prioritizing mitigation options and devising approaches based on equity. Increasing the flow of financing under enabling conditions and integrating development and climate change is an urgent priority. A radical revamping of technical and policy approaches to climate change response and rural development strategies is needed to ensure their mutual reinforcement and prioritization of a resilient, inclusive approach to rural transformation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48741,"journal":{"name":"Global Food Security-Agriculture Policy Economics and Environment","volume":"43 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142442855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyzed a nuclear winter scenario involving the injection of 150 Tg of soot in the stratosphere using a linear optimization model with and without global food trade. We investigated the effects of loss of global food trade, some simple adaptations like rationing and storage of excess food for the coldest years, and rapid, large-scale deployment of food sources which are less dependent on present day climate (so called resilient foods) including cool tolerant crops, methane single cell protein, lignocellulosic sugar, greenhouse crops, and seaweed. In the worst case of no global food trade and no adaptations, the model predicts a global famine. However, scaling up resilient foods quickly could mitigate this for many countries. Maintaining global food trade would further alleviate pressure on local food systems, unlocking the potential to feed the entire global population.
