Day 5 | Land Use & Agriculture will begin at 14:30 CET

Food, agriculture and land use sectors have been hit hard by the pandemic but must now prepare against the potentially greater and more disruptive effects of climate change.

But whilst climate change threatens the very foundation of these industries, the industries themselves have an even more significant impact due to their significant potential to draw down (sequester) carbon from the atmosphere. Over the next decade, food, agriculture and land management must work together to strike the right balance and unlock the sectors positive climate potential.

We must support the fourth agricultural revolution by adopting and deploying innovation and digital technologies at scale and accelerate the role of nature-based solutions and ecosystem services to make better, data-driven decisions that support our food systems and climate action.
