Agriculture gives about 15 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions, and forestry, land use and land-use change another 17 per cent, mostly from tropical deforestation and peatland. With nearly a third of emissions tied to how we use land, changing land use is essential to fighting climate change.
- ✗ (a) 'Immediately replace ... all over the world' is extreme, and organic farming is never mentioned.
- ✓ (b) About 15 per cent from agriculture plus another 17 per cent from 'forestry, land use, and land-use change'.
