Does agricultural activities have an impact on climate change? Or can it be part of the solution?
Agriculture and forestry have been the largest contributors to climate damage over the past 200 years, responsible for nearly 23% of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the IPCC.
Over the next three weeks, we're opening a Q&A session with Dr. Ahmed Elshazly, Heliopolis University Vice President for Community Development & Partnerships, to explore the topic of "Agriculture is Part of the Solution", which is an existing call for action & collaboration that draws insights from sustainable development and regenerative agriculture models already existing at Heliopolis University and Sekem in Egypt.
The discussion will explore how sustainable agricultural practices can combat climate change, provide perspective on the transformative potential of organic and biodynamic agriculture, the role of fair carbon credit schemes, and the urgent need to address the hidden costs embedded in global food systems.
