"Despite the fact that food is a big climate problem, very little has been done so far to address it."
How food and agriculture contribute to climate change | Reuters
Feeding the world is a big job, and the effort produces billions of mets of emissions of greenhouse gases each year - around a third of the global total.

Five Ways Agriculture Can Help Solve The Climate Crisis
What role will controlled environment agriculture (CEA) play in a resilient and sustainable food supply? And how can we overcome the cost barriers for allowing digital technologies that can unlock the potential for CEA systems? #digitalAg #sustainability
How digital twins will enable the next generation of precision agriculture
Digital twin technology is a huge boon for indoor farming and may hold the key to addressing rising global food scarcity.

Global GHG emissions reached a record high of 57.4 GtCO2e in 2022, growing by 1.2%.
This rate is slightly above the average rate in the decade preceding the COVID-19 pandemic (2010–2019), 0.9%/yr.
