agribusinessreview.comDECEMBER 20238Climate change continues to be one of the most critical issues of our time. The science shows we must pursue efforts to limit temperature rise to 1.5 °C above-preindustrial levels to avoid the worst effects of climate change. However, we can only do that by achieving net zero emissions by 2050, meaning the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere is equal to the amount removed from the atmosphere, resulting in no net increase in atmospheric concentrations of these gases.To achieve net-zero emissions, global greenhouse gas emissions must be significantly reduced from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, as well as agriculture.The deployment of sustainable farming methods is one of several levers we can pull to reduce emissions and decarbonise the agriculture sector (alongside reforestation, afforestation, and other nature-positive solutions). We need to employ sustainable practices that maintain the health of the world's soil not only so it can continue to produce for generations to come, but also so it can sequester large amounts of carbon ­ keeping it locked in the ground and out of the atmosphere.AMBITIOUS PARTNERSHIPS ARE KEY TO SCALING REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE By Ana Yaluff, Director of Sustainability EMEA, ADM opinionIN MY Ana Yaluff
