The Future of Agriculture

Feeding the Future: Sustainable Agriculture in a Changing World
Record rainfall and extreme climates are increasingly common around the world. News reports show farmers facing flooded fields, unable to harvest or plant. Our climate is changing, and agriculture is both a victim and a major driver, responsible for around a third of all greenhouse gases.

In this book, Sarah Bearchell explores how agriculture is using targeted breeding, automation, and precision inputs to produce more with less. She considers how we can reduce our impact by addressing problems in our food system, from packaging and transport to food waste. As consumers, we can make small changes and push for long-term change. Agriculture can become a force for good, but it needs our help.
