The Conference of the Parties, at its seventeenth session, invited Parties and admitted observer organizations to submit to the secretariat, by 5 March 2012, their views on issues relating to agriculture. It requested the secretariat to compile the submissions from Parties into a miscellaneous document for consideration by the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice at its thirty-sixth session (decision 2/CP.17, paras. 76-77). The secretariat has received 20 such submissions from Parties. In accordance with the procedure for miscellaneous documents, these submissions are attached and reproduced in the language in which they were received and without formal editing. The five submissions received from intergovernmental organizations and the 24 submissions received from 22 non-governmental organizations have been posted on the UNFCCC website
