Agriculture and Animals
While the population is rapidly growing the world is facing climate change. This makes it increasingly challenging to generate enough food, both plant and animal based.
Agriculture has the potential to reduce poverty, increase access to food and create employment. It all depends on how land – both urban and rural – is managed and adaptation strategies are applied.
