Agronomist Valdez Sierra warns against environmental degradation

Valdez Sierra pointed out the rapid decline of productive spaces and the annual addition of an additional 61,000 square kilometers of desert. He also emphasized that the continued destruction of tropical forests threatens ecosystems and could negatively impact food production and water reserves.
