Global geopolitics were harmonized at COP26 when more than 150 countries pledged to the Glasgow Climate Pact, resulting in unified aspirations to constrain global average temperature rise to 1.5°C and well below 2°C by 2050 (UNFCCC, 2021). Achievement of this goal demands urgent, deep and sustained reductions in global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with threshold targets of 45% by 2030 (relative to 2010) and net zero by mid-century (UNFCCC, 2021). With agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) contributing 24% of global GHG emissions each year, AFOLU represents the second largest contributor to global GHG emissions after the energy sector (IPCC, 2014).
