Introduction
The science on climate change is clear. More than almost any
other sector, the food sector is both a contributor to, and a
victim of, the effects of climate change, and so it is critical
that the sector continues to evolve how it manages the threat of
climate change and how it handles emissions and other environmental
concerns.
In this special feature article, we explore a number of key
innovations which are reshaping the sector.
The global food and agriculture sector is being challenged
because its production methods, operations and impact on the
environment is significant.
- As a source of greenhouse gas emissions such as nitrous oxide
and methane
- As a contributor to the destruction of forest land to enable
grazing and crop cultivation in some countries
