Sustainability is just as critical as food security

Chuck Magro suggests that sustainability should be viewed by the agricultural sector as critical as food security. In an interview with Terramera’s Karn Manhas, he highlights Nutrien’s end-to-end carbon program that focuses on incentivizing farmers to adopt practices that increase soil carbon sequestration and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

“We recognize that the ag sector is a big contributor to GHG emissions today — roughly 15% globally — but because of the advancements we’ve made in agriculture over time, we are in a much better position today than we might have been.”
