Climate change mitigation to limit warming to 1.5°C or well below 2°C, as suggested by the Paris Agreement, can rely on large-scale deployment of land-related measures (e.g., afforestation, or bioenergy production). This can increase food prices, and hence raises food security concerns. Here we show how an inclusive policy design can avoid these adverse side-effects.
