The report, called the Global Land Outlook 2, comes from the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification and follows a landmark UN report earlier this month that called for “rapid and deep” emissions cuts to avoid the worst effects of globalwarming. degrees Celsius.
Globally, agricultural systems have come under pressure to reduce their carbon footprint and the UK government has set a target of ‘carbon neutral’ farming by 2050. for GlobalWarming Potential (commonly known as carbon footprint); 21.2% for Terrestrial Acidification Potential; 22.5% for Agricultural Land Use.
These come from deforestation, changes in soil carbon, methane emissions, emissions from fertilisers, manure, farm machinery, and animal feed production. per capita per day in Africa, 77.57g in Asia, 86.09g in SouthAmerica, and 102.06g in Europe.
Everywhere is being impacted, but parts of Africa, Asia, Central and SouthAmerica, the Arctic regions, and small island states are at particular risk. And farmers can increase the climate resilience of their businesses by diversifying crops and livestock, planting trees and busies on fields for shade, and boosting soil health.
Phase out of synthetic fertilisers and wider dietary shift away from intensively farmed meat urgently required to curb climate damaging gas, the Soil Association warns. The Soil Association said an overhaul was therefore urgently needed in the way nitrogen is used in agriculture in order to avoid further environmental and climate damage.
So yeah, there's a little cheat that we did: we took away the hyper-object of globalwarming, which is so vast and timeless and slow-moving, and we put in a very concrete event, a comet. This risk increases steeply with rises in global temperature. It is entirely possible the worst case warming scenarios can be averted.
