A Pathway to Carbon Neutral Agriculture
Without major efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from expanding agriculture, the world is on a path toward dangerous climate change. This event will explore a new pathway WRI has outlined for achieving carbon neutral agriculture.
Timezones: 9:30 AM EDT | 3:30 PM CET
In the World Resources Report: Creating a Sustainable Food Future, WRI developed a menu of solutions to feed 10 billion people by 2050 while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and without clearing more forests.
A new WRI report, A Pathway to Carbon Neutral Agriculture in Denmark, applies this approach to Denmark’s agriculture system and offers a roadmap to reach carbon neutral agriculture – an ambitious goal its major agricultural associations aim to achieve by 2050. Although the focus is on Denmark, the technologies, solutions and approach are broadly applicable to advanced agricultural countries in Europe, the United States, and Asia.
Join this webinar to learn more about what it will take to achieve carbon neutral agriculture around the world, from feed additives to nitrogen fixing crops and new manure management practices. You will also hear from leaders of Denmark’s agricultural industry and environmental conservation about what WRI’s approach means for the country’s future.
