A significant decision reached at COP 23, acknowledging the importance of agriculture in adapting to and mitigating climate change. Countries agreed to collaborate on agricultural development, focusing on topics like soils, nutrient use, water, livestock, adaptation assessment methods, and socio-economic and food security aspects.
