Description :

Agriculture today has a large impact on the atmosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere – from accounting for approximately 70% of global freshwater withdrawal, to the use of synthetic fertilisers that are responsible for 2.1% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Left unabated, unsustainable agricultural practices will threaten crop yield and global food supply resilience. How can we use science and technology to redesign agriculture to be more sustainable and nature-positive?

Hear from experts in the agri-food sector on how they are redefining their respective core businesses to mitigate carbon emissions and protect nature, while remaining economically viable for farming communities.
