Why climate change may hinge on what we eat and how we grow it.
Excellent presentation that offers an insightful scientific overview of where we are, and how together we can shift policies and mindsets around food to build a better, sustainable world.
There will always be setbacks, but we don’t give up. We adapt, we re-strategise, we meet people where they’re at, we celebrate the wins, and we always follow the science.
There is so much (intentional) misinformation out there. If you do not already follow Project Drawdown, then do so now. Become part of the solution.
“When we think of climate change, we often think of fossil fuels, electricity, transportation, buildings, and industry. But that’s not the whole story. Some 20–35% of human-generated greenhouse gases come from food, agriculture, and land use. And those emissions are growing — even in countries that are making progress on fossil- and energy-related emissions.
If this trend continues, food, agriculture, and land use could become one of the thorniest and most stubborn sources of greenhouse gases. Unfortunately, our ability to address climate change in food, agriculture, and land use is currently quite limited. While some so-called solutions are getting a great deal of attention, other areas are largely ignored. And a more comprehensive approach is still lacking.
In this presentation, Jonathan Foley, Ph.D., executive director of Project Drawdown, will present a new framework for addressing climate change from food, agriculture, and land use.”
