[QUOTE="Ffermer Bach, post: 7557835, member: 51054"] this is what I wrote in the comments section [TABLE] [TR] [TD]Agriculture has the opportunity to seriously help with reducing and counteracting climate change, with sequestration of atmospheric carbon into the soil. This needs changes to how we farm; regenerative agriculture and Gabe Browns five principles no-till or minimal tillage, keeping the ground covered, diversity in plant and animal species, keeping living roots in the soil as much as possible, and the importance of integrating animals. The biggest threat to this happening, is the multinational corporations do not want this to happen (as Gabe uses no pesticides, fungicides or fertliser yet has 20% higher yields) and eating stew and potatoes gives little profit to food manufacturers, where as a Vegan meal is ultra processed (so gives high profits to food manafacturers). Multi national companies are trying to "take over" food production (stopping seed saving, patenting seeds genomes to use with roundup etc), removing animal ag (Impossible Foods etc). Of course all this will mean a continuing drop in soil organic matter and no carbon sequestration, but multinational corporations have no conscience (you only have to look at the Tobacco playbook) and these companies have the money to lobby government AND push ideas on social media (look at how the "meat free monday" etc is gaining traction). This book gives an idea of what happens to a civilisation when it takes a wrong turn [URL]https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/books/jared-diamond/collapse/9780140279511?keyword=&gclid=Cj0KCQjws-OEBhCkARIsAPhOkIZXAHxyHuFdlxLPLA6buSMPk1Uj54X7v8S36z47CUJLAiEroWdubfoaAjJPEALw_wcB[/URL][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/QUOTE]
