The Ministry of Food and Agriculture is urging a shift towards responsible and sustainable agricultural practices to combat climate change. During a recent event, officials emphasized the importance of using agricultural inputs judiciously to minimize environmental impact while maximizing productivity. They highlighted that adopting sustainable methods not only aids in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but also enhances food security.

The ministry called on farmers to embrace innovative techniques, such as precision farming and efficient water management, which can lead to both economic benefits and ecological preservation. By fostering a greater understanding of the relationship between farming practices and climate health, stakeholders can work together to create more resilient agricultural systems.

As part of this initiative, collaboration among government bodies, private sector players, and farmers is essential for implementing effective strategies. The Ministry underscored that a collective effort is crucial in promoting sustainability within the sector—ensuring that agriculture can thrive without compromising the environment for future generations. The call to action aims not only to address present challenges but also to secure long-term agricultural resilience against climate variabilities.
