Sustainable Agriculture: Agriculture is a significant contributor to Switzerland's greenhouse gas emissions, making sustainable farming practices crucial in the fight against climate change. The referendum aimed to incentivize farmers to adopt eco-friendly practices, reduce emissions from livestock, and promote regenerative agriculture. It also emphasized the importance of preserving biodiversity and protecting natural habitats.
