Where agronomy intensifies production and generates more food per hectare and unit of input, it has the potential to relieve pressure to convert forests and peatlands at the extensive margin to production; this may reduce some of the most acute land-based emissions.

The soil is the foundation of agriculture. It's where crops grow, where animals graze and where we grow our food. The soil is what sustains us; without it, we would not have any nourishment to eat, nor would we have anything to work with.

Precision agriculture is crucial to the idea of smart farming.
By using sensors and other devices to track and map crops in real time, farmers can make better decisions about what to plant, when to plant it, and how much to water it.

There's no easier way to keep your soil healthy than by using crop rotation. Planting trap crops helps to reduce insect pests and weeds while supplying nutrients in the soil.
Let’s work together to build healthy soil in communities around the world.
