英文摘要	The adaptation of the food system to climate change is one of the major challenges of our time. This transformation of the food system to adapt to and mitigate climate change has to occur across multiple scales: from the farm to the policy level. At the farm level, small-scale farmers' abilities to cope with the increasing occurrences of extreme weather events-such as droughts, floods, storms, and heat waves-as well as deteriorating quality of soils and lower availability of water will be largely determined by the ability to adopt technologies that are knowledge intensive as opposed to capital intensive. It is in this context that a global consensus has arisen that business as usual is not an option and the way forward needs to build on and strengthen agroecological, sustainable agricultural methods (see McIntyre et al. 2009; UNEP 2012) that enable climate change mitigation. Apart from the necessary shifts in the management of the different resources, adaptation and mitigtation strategies at a policy level will be crucial. General knowledge on more sustainable consumption and production patterns needs to be improved. This includes the knowledge of policy makers through innovative policy planning tools and promoting policies that increase the adaptability of the global food system. This article outlines a range of existing viable technologies and knowledge. © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014.
