US EditionAt UN climate conference, some activists and scientists want more talk on reforming agriculture
Activists and scientists highlight agriculture’s role in one-third of global emissions and call for greater climate funding and Indigenous voices at COP30.
- During this year's COP30, activists and scientists demanded more be done to transform the world's food system, while protesters gathered outside the industry‑sponsored AgriZone, including actions on the opening evening.
- Because agriculture drives significant emissions, the FAO reports it accounts for about a third of global greenhouse gases, yet most climate funding targets other sectors, prompting activist calls for food system focus.
- Inside AgriZone, Embrapa said it drew about 2,000 visitors a day during COP30's two-week run, with DeSmog reporting more than 300 industry lobbyists attending.
- Indigenous delegates pressed countries to honor ancestral land stewardship, while smallholder advocates said those groups lack influence at talks, amid a meat-cooking protest on Nov. 15, 2025, in Belem, Brazil.
- Ana Euler said Embrapa and industry must join climate funding talks, stating `We need to be part of the discussions in terms of climate funds`, while researchers warned their concerns go unheard.
