Cultivating Change: A Collaborative Philanthropic Initiative to Accelerate and Scale Agroecology and Regenerative Approaches Food systems account for at least 15% of global fossil fuel use each year. 🚨 To tackle the climate, biodiversity, and health crises, we need to transition away from industrial food systems to #agroecology and regenerative approaches to agriculture. Learn more in the Global Alliance for the Future of Food's report.

🚨 How we grow, process & consume food drives 1/3 of global greenhouse gas emissions:
