Enhancing the adoption of agroecological, climate smart, and environmentally sustainable practices through youth-led initiatives in the sugar industry
Sugarcane covers 65 million acres of land worldwide, and a dozen countries use at least 25% of their farmland to grow it, but there’s little awareness of its toll on the environment. This paper explores agroecology approaches that can be adopted to address the many challenges facing current agri-food systems such as climate change, soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and environmental pollution.
