3N Agriculture: Growing the greenest tomorrow

Abstract The global food system must confront the intertwined challenges of feeding a growing population, reversing environmental degradation, and improving nutrition. While past agricultural innovations improved yields, they often undermined sustainability and food quality. In response, we propose the 3N Agriculture framework—Net‐Zero, Nature‐Positive, and Nutrient‐Balanced—as an integrated strategic model to transform agriculture into a resilient, restorative, and health‐promoting system. Unlike siloed approaches, 3N Agriculture integrates climate mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and nutritional enhancement within a single coherent strategy. It calls for systemic changes in energy use, land management, biodiversity stewardship, and food production, aligning productivity with environmental and human health goals. The framework provides a practical pathway to move beyond fragmented implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals and secure food systems and landscapes for future generations. Core Ideas The 3N Agriculture framework unites Net‐Zero, Nature‐Positive, and Nutrient‐Balanced imperatives. Integrated 3N strategies address climate, biodiversity, and nutrition challenges simultaneously. Policies, markets, and knowledge systems are essential to scale 3N Agriculture across all levels. 3N offers a distinct, systems‐based pathway beyond regenerative and climate‐smart agriculture.
