Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural systems is crucial to keeping the world on track to meet international climate goals. The 2024 Breakthrough Report—Agriculture shows that momentum in this area is growing – yet food systems continue to account for nearly one-third of global emissions. The report emphasizes the need for stronger international collaboration to accelerate the deployment of new technologies and sustainable solutions that can help reduce agricultural emissions without compromising food or nutrition security.

The 2024 Breakthrough Agenda Report – Agriculture is the first standalone report in the Breakthrough Agenda series to focus on agriculture. It assesses the status of international collaboration toward implementing sustainable practices in agriculture and proposes priority actions for governments to scale up the use of clean technologies and sustainable solutions in agrifood systems.
