Agriculture, Climate Change, and Green Technologies in the DRC: Towards Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Agriculture

This article delves into the significant challenges facing agriculture in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) as a result of climate change. Climate-related shifts such as altered rainfall patterns, rising temperatures, and the increasing frequency of extreme weather events are having devastating effects on agricultural productivity, food security, and the sustainability of agricultural systems in the country. The primary objective of this research is to explore and assess the impact of green technologies as a solution to promote sustainable agriculture in the DRC. The study aims to identify the most effective green technologies, such as sustainable irrigation, agroforestry, and the use of biofertilizers, to enhance the resilience of agricultural systems in the face of climate change while preserving natural resources. The solution proposed by this study is the widespread adoption and integration of green technologies into agricultural practices in the DRC. These technologies have the potential to reduce the carbon footprint of agriculture, improve agricultural productivity, and strengthen the resilience of rural communities against climate-related challenges. The study advocates for immediate action to encourage the adoption of these technologies, supported by enhanced public policies, accessible financing, and capacity-building initiatives for farmers.
