The global food system is a recipe for disaster when it comes to our planet’s climate. While food production makes up about one-fourth of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, keeping up with population growth and consumer habits has continuously increased pressure on scarce land and water resources. Limiting global warming, scientists say, will be impossible without profound changes to how we feed the world.
The good news is that modern crop science and agricultural technology, coupled with sustainable farming practices and changes in consumer behaviors, can significantly move the needle on climate targets. What corporate practices and governmental policies and regulations at the national and international level as well as individual choices are needed to transform our food system?
Join Foreign Policy’s third annual Food+ Summit on December 1 and 2 to explore cutting-edge innovations and tangible solutions being implemented by leaders in government, the agricultural sector, and renowned chefs and change agents taking a food-driven approach to climate action.
