Agriculture and agribusiness

Beyond this alarming figure, climate change must be added to the list of many hurdles facing the sector (pollution, the collapse of biodiversity, etc.) and entails a series of challenges:

• Soil infertility is spreading, climatic hazards are becoming more serious and deforestation is increasing;
• Food habits are changing considerably, for reasons of animal well-being and to combat climate change;
• Dependence on fossil fuels is still very strong at different levels of the value chain (agriculture, agri-food processing, logistics, distribution, catering);
• Agriculture must also be a solution to climate change, by transforming farming practices and by contributing to the development of carbon sinks.
