Agriculture accounts for 10-12% of global greenhouse gas emissions. We must find solutions to allow a balance between cutting emissions while providing nutritious food for a rapidly growing population.

We should push for agricultural companies to de-globalise and focus on organic, local production of native crops using eco-friendly farming.
