How does agriculture impact climate change?

Agriculture impacts climate change primarily through greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and land use changes. What specific aspect are you interested in?

I'm curious about greenhouse gas emissions from farming.

Farming contributes to greenhouse gas emissions through methane from livestock, nitrous oxide from fertilizers, and carbon dioxide from land use changes. Would you like to know more about mitigation strategies?

Yes, what can be done to reduce these emissions?

To reduce emissions, practices like crop rotation, agroforestry, and improved livestock management can be implemented. Would you like examples of these practices?

That would be great! Can you provide some examples?

Sure! For instance, crop rotation helps maintain soil health and reduce pests, while agroforestry integrates trees into farming, enhancing biodiversity and carbon sequestration.
