India Education Diary published an article on the World Bank and IFPRI report, Repurposing agricultural policies and support: Options to transform agriculture and food systems to better serve the health of people, economies, and the planet. The Report reveals that investing in climate-smart innovations that both increase agricultural productivity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions could reduce overall emissions from agriculture by more than 40 percent, restore 105 million hectares of agricultural land to natural habitats, and reduce the cost of healthy foods, thereby also contributing to better nutritional outcomes. To achieve this, concerted action is needed, including support to low- and middle-income countries, facing fiscal constraints, to review current policies and prioritize green investments.
