Background

Climate Change is the major challenge for agriculture, adding to others such as price and cost tensions in the value chain, the energy crisis, and high inflation in agricultural inputs, as well as the growing disconnection from the end consumer, among other issues.

Agriculture is the economic sector that can contribute the most solutions to mitigate Climate Change. However, more knowledge is needed to advance and make this new agriculture viable, and mechanisms for compensating the agricultural sector for its environmental services are also necessary. There are emerging solutions in microbiology and artificial intelligence, among others, that can provide high-impact solutions.
