Record rainfall and extreme weather have become common occurrences around the world. Television news reports show farmers standing in front of their flooded fields; the ground is too wet to harvest one season's crop or to plant the next. Our climate is changing, but agriculture is not only a victim of climate change - it is also one of the main contributors. Our food systems are responsible for around a third of all greenhouse gases.

In this book, Sarah Bearchell explores how agriculture is using targeted breeding, automation, and precision inputs to produce more with less. She considers how we can reduce our impact by addressing issues in our food system, from packaging and transportation to the enormous amounts of waste. As consumers, we can make small changes immediately and advocate for long-term systemic change. Agriculture can become a force for good, but it needs our support.
