Professor Valérie Masson-Delmotte:

It is striking how much innovation one can get when actors in the sector take ownership of climate change issues. It is striking that in New Zealand and among farming organisations in Australia there is currently a demand for action on climate change as farmers there are the ones facing the consequences of a changing climate. It is striking when that demand comes from the professional organisations themselves and how much innovation can be available there. Revenues can be increased for farmers by building on innovation and thinking beyond dairy and meat.
