Many Parties, especially those that rely heavily on a single agricultural system, such as nomadic livestock husbandry (e.g. Mongolia) and atoll agriculture (e.g. Maldives), stated that the low productivity of their agricultural system will be exacerbated by the increased erosion and loss of soil fertility resulting from climate change and its adverse impact on groundwater.
