World Wildlife Fund
Expanding agricultural needs due to population growth is responsible for deforestation. Illegal and unsustainable logging, usually resulting from the demand for cheap wood and paper is responsible for most of the degradation of the world’s forests—an activity which seriously threatens forests and degrades them contribution to carbon sequestration and environmental protection. Degraded forests increase the rate of erosion and pollution of waterways.
The threats are severe and we are losing huge swathes of forests at an alarming rate. The Amazon which is the largest rain forest, lost at least 17% of its forest cover in the last half century due to human activity related to clearing trees and developing new or larger farms. The WWF is working to address the threats to forests. By 2030 the objective is to implement solutions which conserve forests, sustain nature’s diversity support human well-being. Around the globe, food production, distribution, management and waste threaten wildlife and their habitats and the planet. Today, 7.3 billion people consume 1.6 times what the earth’s natural resources can supply. By 2050, the world’s population will reach 9 billion and the demand for food, water and urbanisation is likely to double. CPRSX does have a plan to produce more food to support population growth and regenerate forestry.
By improving efficiency and productivity while reducing waste and shifting consumption patterns, we can produce enough food for everyone by 2050 on the same amount of land we use now or we can adapt to climate change and land use change in other ways to maintain and enhance food sustainability. WWF works to secure a living planet that will sustain a more affluent population. From refining production and distribution to combating waste and environmental impacts, they wish to improve how the world grows, transports and consumes food.
In a nutshell, the CPRSX Climate Change Action Plan ™ addresses the WWF objectives in other ways. We believe that efforts to reduce wastage will not be sufficient to off-set food insecurity in time. Our plans are to recover farmlands, reforest them to create create Emissions Reduction Units / Carbon permits to off-set polluter’s carbon foot print though pre-sales and emissions trading. We achieve this objective by transferring small-scale farms into our greenhouses which occupy less land areas, and develop sustainable and consistent food crops. In a greenhouse, the food produced have high nutritional value and crop yields and greater per hectare in comparison to open air farming. CPRSX’s plans to mitigate and eliminate chemical pesticides and fertilisers will lead to a robustly sustainable future which also gives impetus to achieving the the objectives of the WWF.
