What are the 7 Rs of sustainable living and steps that need to be taken to promote sustainable agriculture and food security in the wake of climate change?
The 7 R's of sustainable living that need to be taken to promote sustainable agriculture and food security in the wake of climate change are:
1. Reduce (Food waste)
2. Reuse (Resources)
3. Recycle (Organic matter and nutrients)
4. Rethink (Irrigation and choice of crops)
5. Repair (Soil health and infrastructure)
6. Reduce (Greenhouse gas emissions)
7. Respect (Ecosystems)
yes, getting started with the 7Rs: Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Regift, and Recyclelet's broaden the conversation by including action on all eight of the “Rs”: Reduce, Refuse, Reuse, and Re-Purpose, Repair, Recycle Right, Remove, and Rally! So, let's dig in! Think about what we all can do to make each “R” a part of “R” everyday lives. It starts with the mindset change triggers Remember, Respect, Refuse and Reduce, and continues with the actions Reuse, Return, Refill and Rot, which may demand a portion of your attention, creativity, but does not require that you add any extra materials, and is rounded off by the last resorts Restore, Repurpose. The Principles cover anti- corruption, diversity and inclusion, environment, ethics and business conduct, financial integrity, global citizenship, health and safety, human rights, labor rights, supply chain sustainability, and transparency. To achieve this vision, we have crafted the 2030 5C SD Strategy, by which our strategic priorities, known as the “the 5Cs”: Clean, Community, Culture, Care and Corporate Governance will point the way for the Group's sustainable future toward 2030 and beyond. Sustainability is broken into four distinct areas, known as the four pillars of sustainability: Human, Social, Economic, and Environmental Sustainability. Let's take a look into what these pillars cover. Efficient water and nutrient management should be done to enhance efficiency. Methods like drip-irrigation must be used in place of flood irrigation to save water and government should incentivize farmers to use climate-tolerant crop varieties. Sustainable agriculture and food systems such as organic agriculture and agro-ecology improve food security, eradicate hunger and are economically viable, while conserving land, water, plant and animal genetic resources, biodiversity and ecosystems and enhancing resilience to climate change and natural disasters. Efficient land use and healthy soils are important for food security. Integrated land and water management practices improve agricultural production and enhance soil productivity and its resilience against desertification and other impacts of climate change and variability.
