It’s #EarthDay & I’m giving a talk all about the global food system & its impact on the environment.
The agricultural sector is one of the most significant + immediately scalable places to have impact.
Since my talk isn’t public, here’s a great piece from @globalecoguy & the good folks at Project Drawdown. https://drawdown.org/news/insights/how-food-and-farming-will-determine-the-fate-of-planet-earth

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum • • •Some related facts I saved from this profound Stanford study:
- More antibiotics are fed to farm animals than are used in all of human medicine.
- 82% of global fish populations are depleted.
- By 2050, we will need 3 planets if we continue to eat the way we eat.
