The United Nations have predicted that in less than 5 years the world will experience an irreversible climate change catastrophe. With the world already struggling to produce enough food, this news is catastrophic to the agriculture industry. Soil degradation, rising sea-levels and irregular rainfall is making it progressively harder to grow crops without damaging farmland and polluting the environment with chemical pesticides. As agriculture itself is the greatest contributor to climate change and environmental destruction, farming innovations must be developed to mitigate (and adapt to) climate change, and to make agriculture more sustainable.
