As a result of the industrial revolution that kicked off in the 1970s, the earth's surface has been warming up at a high rate. There is a rise in temperature due to the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This causes the planet to retain heat from the sun. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane are released into the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned. Trees and oceans should help absorb the carbon dioxide that has been released.
However, they cannot handle the current large amount that is in the earth's atmosphere.The forests are shrinking, and even less carbon dioxide can thus be absorbed. The high levels of carbon dioxide are already acidifying the ocean.This kills coral reefs and triggering a dangerous rise in sea levels, thus an increase in extreme weather events. This is known as climate change. Climate change is hitting farmers hard.
Farming methods that treat soil like dirt are making big problems even worse - but using science to build healthy soils and create resilience landscapes, farmers, government and everyone on the planet earth needs to help and be part of the solution. Thus, this book will help you understand the best practices that can be done through agroecology to make sure that it helps in giving us sustainable and secure food systems.
You will learn how agriculture can be transformed through agroecology. The outstanding practices here should help in solving food security far the increasing population. Moreover, the practices also help le coming up with a solution to climate change, since agriculture is one of the contributors to climate change. There is a need to change our agricultural practices.Three significant areas in agriculture can help us transform the world.
This includes the farmer's knowledge of the best agricultural practices. How best do our farmers know what should be done on their farms for sustainable farming ? Women have been known for she major role that they play in agriculture. Have they been as benefited as men do ? What challenges do they face when it comes to agriculture and food security ? Will there be a change if we empower women as sustainable goals require ? There is a need for new technologies if we are looking forward to being able to take care of the growing population today and in the future.
The questions are : What are the latest technologies and innovations that can help improve the agricultural sector ? How best can these technologies help farmers ? What knowledge do the farmers have on the available techniques ? To answer these questions, you need to keep on reading. There is a lot of information on agroecology as a solution to climate change. Moreover, it is the foundation when it comes to sustainable and secure food systems.
