Preventing Mass Famine: Climate-Resilient Irrigation and Soil Security in Drought Regions
About this committee
The Food and Agriculture Organization is the United Nations agency that leads international efforts to defeat hunger and help farmers grow enough food.
When droughts last longer and rains become less reliable, crops fail and soil loses its goodness. Delegates will look at practical ways to keep water reaching farms and to protect healthy soil, so that communities in dry regions can keep growing food even as the climate changes.
