Farm to Future: The Role of Climate-Smart Agriculture
Description:
Today’s food system lies at the intersection of some of the world’s biggest environmental challenges, from soil degradation, to freshwater consumption, to biodiversity loss and deforestation, and climate change. With a growing population and the convergence of these polycrises, lies a unique opportunity and responsibility. Through the lens of food and beverage products and retail, this session will explore the integration and scaling of regenerative and other forms of climate-smart agriculture - and the impact of these practices on our people, planet, and profit.
