Sadly there was a climate & nature shaped hole at the heart of Burnham’s speech. Nothing on the benefits of nature restoration & same old words on a “pragmatic” approach to N Sea drilling. There’s nothing pragmatic about pouring fuel on a scorching earth - he should rule out Rosebank & Jackdaw now

Anything...except when it comes to food 🍽️ And no, we are not talking about cases where it's not possible to obtain plant based proteins or in food desserts or for indigenous populations who rely on animals for survival 🌍 We are referring to people who can but don't want to 🙄

In terms of land use, the problem is animal agriculture. With a just transition to plant-based agriculture, and replacing biofuels with agrivoltaics, there would plenty of land to feed 8 to 10 billion humans a delicious, nutritious, and diverse plant-based diet. ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets
ourworldindata.org
If the world adopted a plant-based diet, we would reduce global agricultural land use from 4 to 1 billion hectares
We could reduce the amount of land used for grazing and croplands used to grow animal feed.

'STATE CAPTURE' is a type of systematic corruption whereby narrow interest groups take control of the institutions and processes through which public policy is made, directing public policy away from the public interest and instead shaping it to serve their own interests
