Agricultural Sustainability – Balancing Land Management for Food Security and Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation

Session ID#: 157611

Session Description:
Agricultural intensification has increased greenhouse gas emissions, degraded soil, and polluted water. Nevertheless, many estimates project that global agricultural production will need to increase by > 50% to meet higher consumer demands by 2050. Sustainable agriculture may help mitigate climate change by increasing carbon sequestration through longer growing seasons, changes in cropping systems, and better soil, nutrient and pest management, which can promote the resilience of these systems to weather extremes. However, weather and soil conditions and climate change impacts vary widely, emphasizing the need to document actual changes in greenhouse gas fluxes associated with agricultural practices in different settings.  This information can help predict how technologies and management changes will affect regional agricultural production and the environment, including greenhouse gas emissions. Increased communication among agricultural scientists, farmers, consumers and policymakers is needed to promote new information and technologies and prevent negative outcomes such as increasing inequality, overproduction, and waste.
