Agriculture and related land-use change generate one-quarter of the world’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Producing the food the world will likely need by 2050 using today’s technologies would triple GHG emissions while destroying most of the planet’s remaining tropical and temperate forests. At the same time, global emissions need to drop to net-zero by mid-century to prevent the worst climate impacts.
In the
