      This is a hard question! I think the biggest challenge facing our planet currently is sustainable agriculture, so producing enough food and the right type, in a way which does not harm the environment or ideally helps combat climate change. The increasing global temperatures means we have the challenge of new pests, hotter drier weather so crops need to be drought resistant, and also more extreme weather, which makes it hard for farmers and crops to adapt. So creating sustainable agriculture would be the one thing I would try and do to save the planet.
