United Nations Takes the Long View
According to the BBC, the United Nations is calling for a "farming revolution" on a global scale. The report called for many changes and highlights the need for a holistic global view of agricultural sustainability. Key among the findings of the body were the following:
1. "Progress in agriculture has reaped very unequal benefits and has come at a high social and environmental cost
2. Food producers should try using "natural processes" like crop rotation and use of organic fertilisers
3. The distance between the produce and consumer should also be reduced"
