- Provides a more holistic approach by combining research both on the impacts of climate change on agriculture and the contribution of agriculture to climate change
- Highlights advances in ways of predicting the effects of agriculture and climate change on one another
- Builds on this foundation to outline key mitigation strategies to achieve a more ‘climate-smart’ agriculture
