Agriculture can address urgent challenges such as environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, climate change, poverty, and injustices. By showcasing examples of agricultural systems that meet these urgent needs while also producing food and energy, this Perspective calls for a refocused debate away from the misleading 'fuel versus food' dichotomy.
The world currently faces a suite of urgent challenges: environmental degradation, diminished biodiversity, climate change and persistent poverty and associated injustices. All of these challenges can be addressed to a large extent through agriculture. A dichotomy expressed as 'food versus fuel' has misled thinking and hindered needed action towards building agricultural systems in ways that are regenerative, biodiverse, climate resilient, equitable and economically sustainable. Here we offer examples of agricultural systems that meet the urgent needs while also producing food and energy. We call for refocused conversation and united action towards rapidly deploying such systems across biophysical and socioeconomic settings. Agriculture can reduce environmental pressures and tackle poverty and related injustices. Showing examples of agricultural systems that do so while producing food and energy, this Perspective calls for a refocused debate away from the misleading 'fuel versus food' dichotomy.
