Farmers around the world are at the front lines of climate change. They are directly affected by more frequent and 
severe droughts, rising temperatures, variable rainfall, and emerging pests and crop diseases. In low-and middle income countries, where farming is the main source of income for some of the poorest and more vulnerable people, agriculture must urgently adapt to new climate-induced stresses.
With agriculture on the agenda at this week’s UN climate talks in Katowice, Poland, we highlight some encouraging innovations for improving resilience and productivity for agriculture under climate change. The photo story from the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) shows the advantages of joint action by farmers, researchers, governments, not-for-profits and businesses.
