Productivity improvements and reducing GHG emission intensity in agriculture go together – up to a point

L'amélioration de la productivité et la réduction de l'intensité des émissions de gaz à effet de serre dans l'agriculture vont de pair - jusqu’à un certain point

For the agricultural sector, however, lowering emissions has to be accompanied by output expansion to meet increasing food demand from a growing and wealthier global population.
