The Climate Crisis on Our Plates: Rethinking Food and Farming

​When we think of climate change, we often think of fossil fuels, electricity, transportation, buildings and industry. But that’s not the whole story. 

Some 20–35% of human-generated greenhouse gases come from food, agriculture, and land use. And those emissions are growing — even in countries that are making progress on fossil- and energy-related emissions. If this trend continues, food, agriculture, and land use could become one of the thorniest and most stubborn sources of greenhouse gases.

The good news? Solutions to address this challenge exist! During our next Drawdown Ignite webinar, executive director Jonathan Foley, Ph.D., will engage outside experts in a far-ranging discussion focused on food, agriculture, and land use. 

When: May 20, 2025 @ 2:00 p.m. ET
