Agriculture Breakthrough

The 2024 Breakthrough Agenda Report – Agriculture highlights the critical role of agriculture and our food system in greenhouse gas emissions, contributing nearly one-third of the total. Stronger international collaboration is needed to transform the sector into a climate-resilient, low-emissions system, aligned with the Paris Agreement goals of limiting global warming to 1.5°C-2°C. This year’s report focuses on emissions from fertiliser and livestock. It outlines five key actions to overcome barriers and accelerate the deployment of sustainable technologies emphasising the urgency and achievability of transitioning to more sustainable agriculture.
