A recent report from the World Bank highlighted that middle-income countries are leading contributors to global emissions from the agrifood system.

The study underscored the urgent need for more investments in reducing agrifood emissions, suggesting that investments should surge 18-fold, to approximately €240 billion annually. This substantial increase is deemed crucial to halve emissions and propel the world towards achieving net zero emissions by 2050.

For a deeper analysis of the report, I invited in our studio Maria Simon Arboleas, Euractiv's agrifood reporter.
