Agriculture must be transformed into a system that meets the nutritional needs of all in a safe, environmentally friendly and regenerative manner.

According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture organization, crop yields around the world are not increasing quickly enough to support the global population expected in 2050. Climate shifts in the form of temperature volatility, rainfall variation and the frequency of severe weather events add even further pressure to the global food system. This also applies to the pervasive use of synthetic agrochemicals, which is one of the major causes of global land degradation and desertification. We must secure our global food supply by sustainably increasing productivity, enhancing resilience to climate volatility and reducing greenhouse gas emissions where possible. This will be fundamental for our survival
