Resumen
Descripción
The report finds that repurposing a
portion of government spending on agriculture each year to
develop and disseminate more emission-efficient technologies
for crops and livestock could reduce overall emissions from
agriculture by more than 40 percent. Meanwhile, millions of
hectares of land could be restored to natural habitats. The
economic payoffs to this type of repurposing would be large.
Redirecting about $70 billion a year, equivalent to one
percent of global agricultural output, would yield a net
benefit of over $2 trillion in 20 years.
