Abstract(s)
One of the greatest current challenges for the farming sector is to find a compromise among agricultural
production to deal with the increased demand worldwide and the environmental impacts for more sustainable development. This is, in fact, a concern for the policymakers and international organisations
and led FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) to propose the CSA (climatesmart agriculture) approach. This chapter intends to analyse the impacts of recent events, namely the
Covid-19 pandemic, on the sustainability of agriculture worldwide. Data from OECD (Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development) were considered for the agricultural land and nutrient balance over the period 2019-2021. There is a long way to run to improve the sustainability of agriculture
worldwide and the expectation about the contributions of the pandemic to open opportunities to mitigate
the environmental impacts from the farming sector are not yet visible.
