Climatic Change

Question 1

There is a need for agrarians and conservationists to work in collaboration not just to meet the increasing food demand and quality but also to enhance the use of land and increase diversity. It is apparent that millions of individuals globally live in unpleasing poverty and hunger. The only approach through which the misery can be alleviated is through agricultural development. The collaboration of agrarians and conservationists necessities careful accounts so that sustainability threats can be avoided (Wendell, 2002). It is my belief that the both parties can work together in increasing wellness in the global context. In that land will be taken care off, while quality, diversity and quantity increases. Increased food generation, quality and land conservation for the existence of beings and animals is required globally. The collaboration will, therefore, seek to increase production and health developments.

Question 2

Jonathan Foley is California Academies of Sciences executive director which is particularly known as the green museum. Foley focuses on research particularly sustainability and the manner in which global agriculture affects climatic changes. In the recent, he authored an article about the strategies that can be used in fighting science and winning. The selected recommendation is the use of resources with more efficiency. Given that there are already strategies for lowering environmental harms on the ordinary farmers there is a need to structure resources use (Charles, 2014). The green revolution is mainly grounded on ensuring that water and land are used efficiently (Foley, 2014). This is through promoting organic farming which lowers the use of chemicals and water. This results in soil quality development and water conservation for other uses (Gerken, 2014).

Question 3

Intellectual and skillful leadership is required in dealing with climatic changes issues. Authoritarian leadership might not work. Individuals should be involved in policy development for efficiency to be acquired. I believe that leaders can bring changes in individual’s behavioral choices through policies. In that, they should focus on creating policies that seek to lower environmental impacts on food security and conserve land. Individual’s behaviors are shaped by the existing leadership. Angela Merkel a German Chancellor is a leader who is currently dealing with the environmental crisis. The leader is currently encouraging the use of renewable and nuclear energy (CRP, 2016). Through this, she seeks to promote the conservation of natural resources and environmental effects.
