FAO has prepared a paper which underlines the need for more interrelated solutions to the interrelated challenges of food security and climate change. The paper addresses possibilities for maximizing synergies (mitigation and co-benefits) and minimizing trade-offs, as well as relevant financing options and their MRV requirements. Finally, it suggests possible steps at the international and national levels to enable country-led implementation processes. The paper should be seen as the beginning of a process of exploring issues related to the development of synergistic nationally appropriate mitigation action in the agriculture sectors of developing countries.

Based on this paper FAO also prepared a policy brief "Harvesting agriculture's multiple benefits: Mitigation, Adapatation, Development and Food Security "
for the Copenhagen summit, which says that farming practices that capture carbon and store it in agricultural soils offer some of the most promising options for early and cost-effective action on climate change in developing countries, while contributing to food security.
