It asserts that at present food and crops alone account for around $10tr of global GDP and employ up to 40 per cent of the world's workforce. Yet a stronger focus on "nature-positive solutions" in agriculture could add another 191 million new jobs to the sector worldwide, while unlocking $3.6tr of additional revenue or cost savings by 2030.
