Managing climate change
In order to prevent the most severe consequences of climate change, it is estimated that the emission of these gases must be intensively reduced in the next 10 years. Growing numbers of people on the planet and a higher demand for food are contributing to additional pressures on agriculture which is one of the sectors with the greatest impact on the environment. Given that reduced food production is not an option, and more intensive production from existing areas requires greater use of fertilizers and chemicals that end up polluting natural resources and the atmosphere, it is becoming increasingly urgent to reorient the existing agricultural patterns towards more sustainable models.
