There are very few industries as intertwined with climate change as agriculture. Not only is agriculture, along with forestry and land use, responsible for approximately 20-25% of global greenhouse gas emissions, but agriculture is among the most significantly impacted by the effects of climate change. From floods to droughts to migrating climate zones, the impacts of a warming climate and increased extreme events are already having profound impacts on the ability to produce crops and feed citizens around the world.

The panel will feature four diverse, dynamic, and engaging speakers, who will each highlight trailblazing initiatives, include reducing methane emissions from cattle, providing on-farm technology for treating liquid waste, mapping and validating soil organic carbon, and building a global smart farm network to accelerate international knowledge sharing.
