Surely you jest, U.N/IPS! I truly hope you are not suggesting the kind of farmers depicted in the story's photo (smallholders and landless peasants) need to "adapt" to "climate-smart" ways! What should they be doiing? Using 500 hp tractors and other, massive, fuel-guzzling machinery? Give your head a shake! To not even reference the role of western, industrialized agriculture is to make a travesty of the whole process!
