What are some sustainability ideas/ problems in relation to agriculture that could have solutions implemented that don’t already exist?
1. We shouldn't just accept climate change
2. We don't need to accept a world with 9.6 billion people by 2050: It is estimated that achieving replacement level fertility in Sub-Saharan Africa by 2050 would reduce food demand by around 600 tn kilocalories (kcal) per year by the mid-century.
3. Switching crops is the future
4. Research breakthroughs need more investment
5. Cultivating trees on farms can boost crop yields
6. Small-scale farmers are vital to domestic food security
7. Urban farms suit tomatoes, not cows
8. Meat is off the menu: Knocking animal products off the menu.
9. The definition of a good farmer is culturally complex
10. Everyone has a role to play: We need about 70% more food in 2050 than we have today. Therefore, everyone may play a crucial role in the solution.
