Your point is not really any clearer than it was originally. I’m guessing here, but are you suggesting everyone who isn’t a farmer stops doing whatever it is they are doing now and starts farming (on land they don’t own, for the majority of them)? - see other comment re solution feasibility

Claudia Vickers @claudiavickers.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

Broad scale land use changes are a feasibility challenge. That’s why afforestation and reforestation aren’t likely to deliver scaled benefits. But improving on current processes on land can make a big difference, especially where there are co-benefits

1/2 If you read our paper, you will see that quantitative assessment is just the first step in the initial assessment where pragmatic considerations are assessed. There is a second step that includes analysis of social, policy, institutional, legal, and other issues

Link to original publication here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... But, this doesn’t negate the thesis we published: increasing carbon sequestration and decreasing emissions over large scale in broad-acre agriculture can influence global carbon fluxes on the scale required to address climate change

Higher yields and more biodiversity on smaller farms - Nature Sustainability

Most of the world’s farms are small. This study finds that smaller farms have higher yields and biodiversity than larger ones but little difference in greenhouse gas emissions and profits.

3: Also: I can tell you feel strongly about this issue, but let’s keep this discussion polite please.

Claudia Vickers @claudiavickers.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

2/n: But this seems counter to your claim about yields - if ‘small scale sustainable farming’ delivers higher yields as you claim, then this would be even better for urbanization, as opposed to reversing it.

Claudia Vickers @claudiavickers.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

1/n: Could you please provide references for your statements about relative yields? Your statements seem contradictory: “Urbanization makes ‘factory farming’ necessary” implies that intensive agriculture is required to support high population density (I agree)….

Claudia Vickers @claudiavickers.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

Yes: I grew up on a small farm so I have a lived experience. Small scale farming can’t deliver the food required to sustain the population; your proposal would require a radical decrease in current population. I think your strategy is impracticable, but happy to discuss further

Today my 9-year old son stopped by as I was executing editorial duties. I asked him if he could do the job for me; he asked what the job was. I told him I had to ask people to do jobs for free. He said No Thanks.

Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.
