    Many smallholders in developing countries are willing to respond positively to reduce global warming but do not know the importance of the (potential) actions. Governments of developing countries will get more opportunities to promote CO2-emission reductions. The huge diversity in situations on farms will provide a challenge to provide practical solutions.
