"From an environmental perspective, science and technology offer many ways to reduce our impact—whether in greenhouse gas emissions, water use, or soil management. Agriculture currently consumes most of the world’s freshwater and emits about 30% of greenhouse gases, yet it employs 4.5 billion people. Scientific innovation can make agri-food systems more sustainable through resilient crop varieties, improved farming practices, and technologies that boost productivity while lowering carbon and water footprints."
