Agriculture

Unsustainable production presents many challenges for food systems, but agricultural improvements alone won’t solve global food system challenges.

An article published in the journal Science asserts that voluntary carbon markets, trading in credits to counterbalance climate change-inducing carbon dioxide, fail to maximize the greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions they could offset.

During a roundtable on Connecting Natural Climate Solutions with Integrated Landscape Management, panelists laid out their foundational work on NCS.

The United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) is calling for bold and inclusive actions to create a more sustainable and equitable food system for people and nature

The European Commission published two important strategies that are key components of the European Green Deal and that will guide the European Union towards more sustainable food systems over the next decade.

The many ways in which Integrated Landscape Management (ILM) can help make agriculture better for people and nature, including by being an insect-Loving management approach.

We need insects to feed ourselves, but conventional agriculture is driving them to extinction. Read what you can do about insect collapse.

Collaborative planning, including grassroots-level stakeholders, to address climate change threats to agriculture, creates a sense of ownership in plan implementation.

This reflection explores the World Economic Forum’s growing interest in landscape approaches and the opportunities-and risks-of scaling them through international business, finance, and policy networks.

Collaborative landscape management can address rural economic challenges, strengthen rural-urban partnerships, and create more resilient communities in a rapidly changing political and environmental landscape.

Sustainable intensification alone is not enough. Integrated Landscape Management is transforming agriculture into a driver of climate action, biodiversity conservation, and resilient food systems.
