[#Bestof2021] 🐟 Today, almost a quarter of #fish stocks (w/ known status) are at risk.

This is avoidable. Reforming government support to fisheries should be a top priority for policymakers as they build a sustainable COVID-19 recovery.

The agricultural sector has the potential to positively contribute to the #sustainability agenda.

Enhancing global soil carbon stocks is one way to reduce emissions, but policies are needed to support this.

@OECDagriculture @greifswaldmoor @ClaireChenu2 @USDA @bmel @CGIAR Thanks to all participants for great insights. Pleased to be able to present new report Soil carbon sequestration by agriculture: Policy options | en | OECD https://t.co/EEm15hhZNT via @OECD

[Marion Jansen @MJansenEcon]

Up to ten percent of the reduction in GHG emissions needed to meet the 2°C goal set out in the #ParisAgreement could be reached through soil carbon sequestration. Check our new paper

How can soil sequestration support #NetZero emissions?

Tune in to the live discussion with panellists Hans Joosten (@greifswaldmoor), @ClaireChenu2, Keith Fuglie (@USDA), and @JBAgriFood at our #GFFA session on 25 January, 17:00 CET 🗓️➡️ https://t.co/nI12ozOzxd

Agri-food modelling is evolving to address links between health, environment and livelihood dimensions of food systems. This @OECDagriculture paper finds that aligning global diets with WHO recommendations improves envi outcomes but at cost of livelihoods https://t.co/ePZdSCI7FF

[#Bestof2021] What are the environmental impacts of #agriculture?

Data spanning 2 decades shows that while most OECD countries increased their agricultural production, the environmental performance of the sector has seen mixed results.

#CarbonTax schemes are most effective when policy packages include investments into the R&D of abatement technologies.

Countries with effective abatement technologies are more likely to see lower carbon leakage rates ⬇️ https://t.co/XXkgezpVT8 #COP26

@AngFrederic Nice job!

[Alan Matthews [email protected] @xAlan_Matthews]

In follow up to OECD report on making better policies for food systems earlier this year, this OECD paper makes the case that better policies will require overcoming evidence gaps, and identifies where better evidence can make the biggest difference https://t.co/Fv5yqGQcTg

Across 54 countries, nearly 800 #AgPolicy responses were introduced in response to the #COVID19 pandemic.

While USD 157 billion was earmarked for support to agriculture, disbursements have been much lower, partly reflecting the resilience of the sector ➡️ https://t.co/E3W8mXXanO
