Harnessing the Potential of Agriculture and Forestry to Combat Climate Change
The world of agriculture and forestry is changing in dramatic ways. With the world population expected to reach 9 billion by 2023, the demand for food is on the rise, and so are the challenges faced by farmers and foresters. To meet these challenges, new technologies, such as precision agriculture and forestry, are being developed and implemented to help increase crop yields and reduce the environmental impacts of farming and forestry. In addition, new approaches to sustainable agriculture and forestry, such as agroforestry and permaculture, are being developed to keep land productive and to protect biodiversity. By embracing these new technologies and practices, we can ensure that the world’s agricultural and forestry sectors remain productive and sustainable for generations to come.
