The Ongoing Struggle to Make Farming More Sustainable: The Transition to Climate-Resilient Practices
The global push to transition to sustainable farming methods is in full swing. As of July 2023, more than half of the world’s agriculturally-focused countries have taken steps to transition to agroecological practices, which are designed to improve the environment and human health while providing sustainable livelihoods for farmers.
However, the struggle to transition to sustainable farming methods is far from over. Many countries, particularly those in the developing world, lack the capacity, resources and infrastructure to effectively make the switch. Even those nations that have taken steps to transition often lack the necessary support for farmers. Without adequate support, farmers are unable to make the transition effectively, and may even be worse off than before.
It is essential that governments and international organizations provide effective support to farmers in order to ensure that the global push to transition to sustainable farming methods is successful. Without this support, we will continue to face the challenges of poverty, hunger and environmental degradation that have plagued us for so long.
