  5. Project Drawdown – Farming our way out of the Climate Crisis

Greenhouse gas emissions come from a variety of sectors, including electricity, food, agriculture and land use (FALU), industry, transportation, buildings, and other. Food, agriculture, is one of the largest contributors to climate change, with ~24% of greenhouse gas emissions, and significant emissions reductions must be found here. By changing our land use and agricultural practices, we should also be able to create new carbon sinks that can help remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. For this reason, reducing emissions needs to play a central role in the way we address climate change.
