Intensive agricultural practices emit immense amounts of climate-warming greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change. Simultaneously, farmers are burdened by the adverse effects of climate change.

Sustainable agricultural practices hold great potential for mitigating climate change. Long term trials comparing conventional and organic systems have shown that organically managed farming systems can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy needs, sequester more carbon in the soil, helping to slow climate change. Climate-friendly farming practices also contribute to improved farm resilience by buffering extreme weather events, thus making organic farms better adapted to the threats imposed by climate change.

Here you find tools related to improving the carbon footprint of your farm and how to adapt so some negative effects of climate change such as heat stress.
