1st Agricultural Practices to Reverse Global Warming, Climate Emergencies, and Poverty.

The agriculture sector is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, but it also holds tremendous potential for mitigating and adapting to these challenges. By adopting sustainable and regenerative practices that enhance soil health, promote biodiversity, and sequester carbon, farmers can not only reduce emissions but also improve the resilience and productivity of their farms.

This session will feature speakers who are leading the way in developing and implementing agricultural practices that reverse global warming, climate emergencies, and poverty. Topics will include:

Soil health and carbon sequestration: How farmers can use practices such as cover cropping, reduced tillage, and composting to build healthy soils and store carbon.

Biodiversity and ecosystem services: How agroecological approaches that prioritize biodiversity and natural ecosystem functions can improve soil health, water management, and pest control.

Climate-smart agriculture: How farmers can adapt to changing weather patterns and extreme weather events through practices such as agroforestry, water harvesting, and diversified cropping systems.

Smallholder farmer empowerment: How innovative approaches to finance, marketing, and land tenure can help smallholder farmers access resources and build resilient livelihoods.

Through a combination of keynote presentations, panel discussions, and interactive workshops, this session will provide participants with practical insights and actionable strategies for transforming agriculture into a solution for climate change, environmental degradation, and poverty.
