How does the above items impact the goal towards net zero emissions? What might be the role of the emerging scientists, leaders and professionals for achieving sustainability in agriculture sector? What are the policy loopholes that high polluting industries are still doing the same levels of pollutions although facing sanctions against carbon emissions? What consumers can do to reduce emissions from agricultural sector: Is it by consuming low processed foods or eating less?
What are the potentials of these emerging concepts like Carbon farming, Biochar and agroforestry in achieving sustainability?

A well-structured agricultural marketing system and agribusinesses can help achieve net zero emissions by promoting sustainable practices. For example, better market access reduces food waste, which cuts emissions. Emerging scientists, leaders, and professionals can drive innovation in sustainable farming methods, like using renewable energy or improving soil health.
However, policy loopholes still allow high-polluting industries to emit large amounts of carbon despite sanctions. Stronger regulations and enforcement are needed. Consumers can help by eating less processed food and choosing more plant-based options, which lowers the carbon footprint of their diets.
Emerging concepts like carbon farming, biochar, and agroforestry have great potential. Carbon farming can capture carbon dioxide in soil, biochar improves soil health and locks in carbon, and agroforestry combines trees and crops, enhancing biodiversity and storing carbon. These practices can significantly contribute to agricultural sustainability.
