About the Book

'Recipe for a Livable Planet' addresses a challenge central to the survival of our world: the impact of what we eat and how we produce it. Up until now, the agricultural system that produces our food has been largely overlooked in the fight against climate change. We do so at our peril. Greenhouse gas emissions from agrifood must be cut to net zero by 2050. This is needed for the world to achieve its goal of keeping global average temperatures from rising above 1.5 centigrade from pre-industrial levels. Emissions from agrifood alone are so big that they could by themselves make the world miss this target. With new analysis and data, 'Recipe for a Livable Planet" highlights how the agrifood system can play a central role in overcoming climate change. As the World Bank's first strategic framework for mitigating the agrifood system's contributions to climate change, it shows where and how emissions can be reduced while ensuring global food security. The authors emphasize that the agrifood system represents an untapped source of low-cost climate change action. By implementing affordable and readily available measures, we can cut nearly a third of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. These actions, which are urgently needed, offer three additional benefits: improving food supply reliability, strengthening our food system's resilience to climate change, and safeguarding vulnerable populations. 'Recipe for a Livable Plane' serves as a practical guide for action. It identifies specific steps that people in countries at all income levels can take now. Additionally, the framework outlines actions at both national and global levels, focusing on six key areas: investments, incentives, information, innovation, institutions, and inclusion. Calling for collaboration among governments, businesses, citizens, and international organizations, it lays out the pathway to making agrifood a significant contributor to addressing climate change and healing our planet. Changing how we produce our food can be a huge win in overcoming climate change, argues 'Recipe for a Livable Plane'. This may sound hard to achieve. But the authors show that the solutions are affordable and readily available. We can heal our planet by acting now.
