This paper starts by saying Green Revolution (GR) agriculture is faltering and needs to be replaced to meet the needs of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It describes the role of CA in accomplishing this goal. They explain that CA can raise productivity, reduce inputs, regenerate degraded land, reduce erosion, and improve the flow of ecosystem services and so contribute to several SDGs. It highlights that CA is spreading globally at an annual rate of about 10 mHa per year. In 2015-16 it was estimated to cover 180 Mha with 48% in the Global South. It further discusses what is needed for CA to contribute to SDGs to contribute to lasting quality of human life and nature.
