Agriculture is one of the heaviest polluters due to farm equipment relying on fuel and crops being used in petroleum products. The agricultural industry needs to reduce its carbon footprint and find more sustainable practices as the global demand for food is expected to double by 2050. Combining techniques from small farms in developing countries with modern technology could provide a solution, but any approach would need long-term research on soil conditions.

1. Agriculture and Its Carbon Footprint
If you have been keeping up with reading
all of your National Geographic and
Smithsonian magazines, you know how
important it is that the agricultural industry
reduces its own carbon footprint and that it
finds better, more sustainable ways of
continuing, particularly since the global
need for food may double by 3050 due to
the population increase worldwide and the
fact that developing nations are able to
sustain themselves better and therefore
have a higher quality preference for food.
Agriculture is one of the heaviest polluters
on the earth, and you would think this
wouldn’t be the case since it is growing
stuff! However, agriculture, with the farm
equipment, need for fuel, and the fact that many different plants contribute to the
petroleum industry’s headway into modern society, is one of the biggest polluters in the
world, and it must be brought down a bit on the emissions scale.
Even corn is used to produce ethanol, and many plant based chemicals are combined with
petroleum products or are used to refine petroleum products. Agriculture itself is a big
problem, but as our educational magazines tell us, it can be made far better than it is right
now. One of the ways this can happen is through using some of the planet protecting
techniques employed in small farms in developing countries and combining that with
modern technology and innovation.
If we could combine the strengths from developing nations and modern systems, without
either of their weaknesses, then we might have a solution to agriculture on our hands. Of
course, we would need to implement whatever approach we took for long enough that we
would know how to it would affect soil conditions over time, but that is just a matter of
research.
