Climate

The time to move towards a more climate-resilient future is now, as the signs of global warming are evident in every area of the planet. Glaciers melting, rise of global sea levels, higher risks for desertification, and decrease in agricultural productivity are only some of the most visible consequences of prolonged and unsustainable growth. The climate crisis we are currently witnessing is so complex that no one single approach can mitigate it.

It calls for an integrated approach that combines several innovative technologies and conservation measures to be applied.  For this reason, combating climate change not only requires rethinking the whole agrifood supply chain, but also training programs, innovation projects, and plans to build international communities that are aware of and ready to act on climate change.
