AgriFood will have a central role at this year’s New York Climate week with a focus on advancing sustainability in nature and food systems. Topics include agriculture, agroforestry and forests, food’s journey, food waste, regenerative farming, Indigenous land management, carbon sequestration, climate-friendly diets, land restoration, conservation, and healthy soils.
