Achieving 30×30 by addressing agriculture

What is sustainable agriculture?

Sustainable agriculture is the use of harm-reducing farming practices to protect the environment, our natural resources, and the health and well-being of all people now and for generations to come.

This work includes improving soil health, managing freshwater, minimizing pollution, increasing carbon sequestration (storage), building resilience to extreme temperatures and weather, and upholding biodiversity as a critical need for environmental and agricultural health.1“What Is Sustainable Agriculture?” Union of Concerned Scientists

Helping the Next Generation

How do we prioritize sustainable agriculture? The answer has two parts:

Existing Farms

In order to truly address fossil fuel usage at this level, improvements to policy and regulations must be made to force change. Governments around the world need to stop providing subsidies to fossil-fuel-using agricultural corporations and, instead, support the farmers who are putting sustainability and biodiversity first.

New Farms

Farmers new to the industry or those inheriting an existing farm are ideal candidates for integrating sustainable methods. Establishing these methods early significantly reduces the need to rely on fossil fuels and pesticides and encourages earth-friendly agricultural practices.
