The challenge lies in determining how to effectively coordinate and integrate multi-sectoral policies under the aegis of a single overarching vision which is consistent with long-term objectives and does not lose sight of immediate needs and relevant priorities at the sectoral level. Food production, which is one of the most critical sectors affected by climate change, requires a multisectoral approach, given the number of interrelated dimensions that need to be simultaneously addressed in order to minimize current and future impacts of climate change on food systems and livelihoods in general. Agricultural practices, for instance, need to change in order not only to improve yields and ensure sufficient food production, but also to preserve ecosystems and natural resources in the long term. The preservation of ecosystems, through new management responses regarding natural resources, is also a determinant in ensuring sustainable livelihoods and food security. Thus, policies to stimulate agricultural productivity should be designed not in parallel with environmental policies but in such a way as to integrate goals of ecosystem preservation.
