How can we work with the plants that feed us and the natural systems that support them, to reduce the contribution that agriculture makes to climate change, mitigate the effects of extreme weather on our farming systems, store more carbon in the soil and adapt in a way to continue to feed ourselves healthfully?

Food production and agriculture are significant contributors to climate change. Our food systems will also be radically affected by climate change.
