Dr. Gordon had a very different approach to talking about Regen Ag, a very human perspective, which is exemplified perfectly in his closing analogy. Although agriculture can be a very technical field, it is also something deeply rooted in culture; it is people's lives.
The global food system is a major driver of climate change, accounting for approximately 30% of human-produced greenhouse gas emissions and creating tonnes of food and plastic waste annually. Reforming the way we produce, transport and consume food is an urgent priority. In this event we hear from stakeholders across the food sector who are exploring ways to make our food systems more sustainable -- from regenerative agriculture to industry-wide collaborative action on waste reduction.
