Land Use: Agriculture, Forestry, Livestock 2015
How can we scale-up sustainable landscape management to significantly reduce GHG emissions while ensuring food, water, and energy security?
At present, agriculture, livestock and deforestation are responsible for 20-30% of global emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Opportunities exist, however, for land uses to be capable of reducing or sequestering significant amounts of carbon from the atmosphere, as well as create more productive and resilient landscapes that increase food security, water availability and energy supply, and support growing incomes. This contest seeks proposals on sustainable land management practices that can be rapidly implemented and brought to scale, in order to significantly address the challenges of climate and global change.
