ROME， Oct. 17 (Xinhua) -- The pledge to eradicate hunger and poverty must go hand-in-hand with rapid transformation of farming and food systems to cope with a warmer world， the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said in a newly-issued report on Monday.

The report， named the State of Food and Agriculture 2016， said agriculture， including forestry， fisheries and livestock production， generate around a fifth of the world's greenhouse gas emissions.

Agriculture must both contribute more to combating climate change while bracing to overcome its impacts， it added.

Climate change threatens all dimensions of food security， FAO Director-General Jose Graziano da Silva said in the report's foreword.

FAO warned that a ""business as usual"" approach could put millions more people at risk of hunger compared to a future without climate change. Most affected would be populations in poor areas in sub-Saharan Africa and South and Southeast Asia， especially those who rely on agriculture for their livelihoods.

Future food security in many countries will worsen if no action is taken today. Overhauling farming and food systems will be complex due to the vast number of stakeholders involved， the multiplicity of farming and food processing systems， and differences in ecosystems.

Yet， efforts must begin in earnest now as the adverse impacts of climate change will only worsen with time， the report emphasized

Graziano da Silva urged that 2016 should be about putting commitments into action， noting the international community last year agreed to the Sustainable Development Goals， and the Paris climate agreement is about to come into force.

The report underscored that success in transforming food and agriculture systems will largely depend on urgently supporting smallholders in adapting to climate change.

The report provided evidence that adoption of ""climate-smart"" practices， such as the use of nitrogen-efficient and heat-tolerant crop varieties， zero-tillage and integrated soil fertility management would boost productivity and farmers' incomes.

More climate finance needs to flow to sustainable agriculture， fisheries and forestry to fund the large-scale transformation and the development of climate-smart food production systems. Adaptation and mitigation of climate change must occur in tandem， it said.

Without action， agriculture will continue to be a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. But by adopting climate-smart practices and increasing the capacity of soils and forests to sequester carbon， emissions can be reduced while stepping up food production to feed the world's growing population， the report said.

" Intimacy is a lot like trying to get warm on a cold winter night. You wrap yourself up in your favorite blankets and settle in for sleep Cheap Omer Toprak Jersey , but at some point overnight you may feel too warm and constrained by the blankets. So you disentangle yourself and push the blankets away. But after a few hours you feel chilled again. So you grope for the discarded blankets and wrap them around you again, basking in the warmth and security they bring...that is Cheap Nuri Sahin Jersey , until you feel too warm once more锟?br >
Fear of intimacy

The term "fear of intimacy" is often used to describe someone who has difficulty creating and maintaining a close connection to hisher partner. The phrase highlights a person's struggle to become physically andor emotionally close and we often describe this struggle as a fear. However, this general term can't fully explain what lies behind one's struggle with intimacy.

Let's take a closer look at three ways a fear of intimacy can manifest in your marriage or relationship.

1. Intolerance for closeness--physical and emotional.

For some Cheap Neven Subotic Jersey , a more accurate description would be an intolerance of intimacy. You may have a desire for intimacy yet at the same time have a strong, negative physical reaction to deeper levels of connection. It's as if your body's intimacy-thermostat is set to avoidance or withdrawal mode whenever a certain level of intimacy occurs. People who have this reaction may feel confused by it and not fully aware that it is happening.

Overcoming a fear of intimacy that stems from adverse physical reactions:

The roots of this reaction often (but not always) stem from the disruptions of intimacy (i.e. Cheap Mikel Merino Jersey , neglectful or intrusive parenting) in childhood. When this is the case in your history, the goal for you will be to learn how your body reacts to emotional and physical intimacy. (Be sure to suspend self-criticism while monitoring your reactions.) Once you become aware of your bodily cues Cheap Maximilian Philipp Jersey , you can use relaxation exercises as a way to recondition your body so that you can accept the deeper levels of connection offered by your partner.

2. Gender role constrictions

Society and culture create powerful rules for how men and women relate to each other. Femalemale stereotypes have a potent influence on what you feel are acceptable ways to experience and express intimacy. Often these gender roles function behind the scenes in your relationship, at times guiding you and your partner. However Cheap Matthias Ginter Jersey , they can frequently serve as a strait-jacket, limiting the level of intimacy allowed in your relationship--the influence of gender role constrictions frequently attribute to one's fear of intimacy.

Societal and cultural rules may work well for you and your partner Cheap Mario Gotze Jersey , but at times they can adversely restrict the ways in which you and your partner relate to one another. For instance, some cultures send the message that men shouldn't experience feelings that make them feel vulnerable Cheap Marco Reus Jersey , while women receive the message that the assertion of their needs is unfeminine.
