VIP Invitation to the next Sustainability Week Insight Hour webinar: Planting the seeds of success

February 18th 2021, 2pm GMT/9am EST

If you are having trouble reading this email, read the online version. The world's population continues to grow—and with it the demand for food. Yet agriculture is responsible for nearly a quarter of greenhouse-gas emissions. The sector is part of the environmental problem—but does it also contain its own solution? In this webinar, Planting the seeds of success: using carbon markets to incentivise climate-friendly farming on February 18th 2021, we explore how industries from agribusiness to consumer goods are incentivising and rewarding climate-friendly farming through carbon-removal initiatives. Can carbon-sequestration techniques help farmers become more sustainable and profitable? What are the challenges of administering and regulating carbon-removal schemes? What solutions do emerging technologies present? What are farmers' experiences? How can other industries adopt carbon-removal initiatives? Date: February 18th 2021 Time: 2pm GMT (9am EST) Join us for the next webinar in the Sustainability Week Insight Hour series, hosted by The Economist Events and sponsored by Bayer .
