Agriculture is a major driver of land use
change, with negative impacts to existing biodiversity and natural resources,
yet it remains the only means to feed a growing, hungry population.
As drylands ambassador of the United Nations
Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), Dr. Dennis Garrity, a Distinguished Board Research Fellow at ICRAF, highlighted
success stories of the evergreen climate smart agriculture initiative at the Dryland
Forest Summit and Land Day 5 events in Durban, South Africa.
