A new international study argues that the world’s farms can be more than food factories. By changing how crops use and store carbon, and by cutting reliance on synthetic fertilisers, agriculture could deliver gigatonne scale climate benefits while still feeding a growing population. The work offers a clear roadmap to decide which ideas are truly worth backing.
