Here's a Ted talk by Allen Savory.
I never realised this. It is an important idea.
We don't have to eat bugs to save the world we don't have to industrialise our food we can just work with nature. What a surprise.

Where's the Beef? Ask Bill Gates
In early June 2022, the government of The Netherlands announced it would cut the size of livestock herds in the country by 30% to meet European Union nitrogen and ammonia pollution rules. As a result of this “green” policy, many farmers will be driven out of business3 and they have gathered in protest across the country.

Plans are to phase out some things (flying, shipping, fossil fuels), and to reduce other things (heating, materials production, food energy) to 60% . https://ukfires.org/absolute-zero/?fbclid=IwAR2isR6cSM4VxSBGOe1wREqMHqmxQSTLp4t04aIJ-D4XJ1Z_DoeAuk3yswU #absolutezero #fossilfuels #heating #food #beef #lamb #flying #cars #vehicles #energy #appliances #construction
The world's biggest #meatcompany is built on #corruption and it's growing in #Australia
( #FourCorners)
You may not have heard of them, but JBS is the biggest meat company in the world. It controls a lot of the food you buy in the #supermarket including #beef, #pork, #lamb and #salmon.
You'll even find their meat between your #burger buns at #McDonald's.
But despite its size and reach, JBS is a #company built on #corruption and bribery; tainted by charges and accusations of malpractice and #environmentalcrimes.
Why?

Leaked EU anti-deforestation law omits fragile grasslands and wetlands
The Guardian
Campaigners say draft regulation contains many loopholes, including exclusion of Cerrado and Pantanal.
The fragile Cerrado grasslands and the Pantanal wetlands, both under threat from soy and beef exploitation, have been excluded from a European Union draft anti-deforestation law, campaigners have said, and there are many other concerning loopholes. (...)
The long-awaited draft regulation, expected to be published in December, will be limited to controlling EU imports of beef, palm oil, soy, wood, cocoa and coffee, according to a report seen by the Guardian. (...)
Campaigners said the EU risks getting it wrong. They criticised the exclusion from the proposals of rubber, leather, maize and other kinds of meat, linking pigs and chickens to “embedded deforestation” through the use of soy as animal feed. (...)
The Together4Forests campaign called for the regulation to ensure protection for all kinds of ecosystems, not only forests. (...)
Other ecosystems will be excluded, even though the EU document concedes that stricter rules to protect the Amazon rainforest “have already been shown to accelerate conversion of Cerrado savannah and Pantanal wetlands for agricultural production”. It also notes that the Cerrado is “a critical region for storing carbon”, a source of water, vegetation and abundant plant life, but concludes that including such ecosystems would make it more difficult to monitor forests. (...)
The document also reveals that the law “will not specifically target the financial sector”, a blow to campaigners who argued that European banks play a role in fuelling deforestation through their lending. (...)
