One of the things I was able to do on the birdsite that there just isn't much opportunity to here is find out "current events" in carob by doing a search every week or so.
If you ever see a carob toot, please forward it to me, especially if it's not a tired carob hippie joke, but actual research or market or real life info re Ceratonia siliqua/#Carob
Please boost to get my request out there. Thanks so much! @plantscience

When we think of #food, we often aren’t paying attention to soil, but it’s actually what sustains our global food system.
Unfortunately, #ClimateChange, unsustainable farming practices & more are degrading soil around the world.
I don’t get to see each episode of Serving Up Science until they are published, but I like this new video. And I’m so glad they let me talk about soil health. youtu.be/FnOHwq6iSpk?si=5umwoG…

Many believe a significant way to address #climatechange is to 'eat local,’ but that’s not always true. The impact all depends on the kind of #food + how & where it’s produced.
Some foods require fewer resources (water, energy) in some parts of the world. Season can be important. Overall, transportation has a much lower carbon footprint than land use change. And so on.
So instead of ‘eat local,’ let’s go with ‘eat thoughtfully.’ ourworldindata.org/food-choice…

According to OurWorldInData, 80 billion animals are slaughtered for food each year.
The scale of what eat (& waste) is massive, which contributes to #ClimateChange & degrades the environment.
In the US, we consume ~280lbs (127 kg) /person/year (not including fish & seafood).
Beef has the most significant environmental impact & Argentinians consume 104lbs (47 kg) of beef/person/year. #food

An upcoming episode of Serving Up Science is all about how soil sustains life & is critical in conversations about #ClimateChange & #food security.
Here you can see two glasses where I poured water over tilled (left) & untilled (right) soil.
The details will be in the full episode, but the take home is that soil structure matters. Healthy soil prevents erosion & flooding, stores carbon, supports biodiversity & keeps our crops growing. 🌱
A significant, if not predominant, proportion of carbon footprint within the “#food system” comes from direct or indirect usage of fossil fuels, which include energy supply, fertilisers, supply chain and logistics, packaging / plastics, cooking and serving etc.
Therefore, from a purely scientific perspective, I am not sure your challenge to Musk’s statement stands as you might be speaking of similar things just in different terms.
I don’t like to mention that rich guy over at #Twitter, but he’s rambling on about #ClimateChange & agriculture, which is in my wheelhouse. And he is also unabashedly & absurdly wrong.
Misinformation on climate change is irresponsible & dangerous, so let’s be clear:
25% to 30% of global emissions come from our #food system.
As UT Austin’s Michael Webber describes, agriculture is a major cause, victim and - importantly - meaningful solution to #climate change.

Meat industry blocked the IPCC’s attempt to recommend a plant-based diet
“A leak of a draft of the Intergovernmental Panel on #ClimateChange (#IPCC) report..has been particularly enlightening when it comes to just how much how delegations negotiate, watered down & delete scientists’ findings.”

A leaked draft revealed how the meat industry is obstructing efforts to curb climate changeAurora Almendral (Quartz)
You may have heard that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - the #IPCC - released a new #climate report.
Here’s the most important take home:
There are *still* so many feasible & effective opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions & adapt to #climatechange available right now.
Climate solutions will improve #food, energy & water security, benefit global health, promote equity, conserve biodiversity & boost the economy.

Scientists are increasingly concerned that the coming decades will bring #climate conditions that make the future of #food production uncertain.
Enter cultivated meat, which doesn’t come from a chicken, pig or cow on the farm. Instead it’s grown in a lab directly from animal cells as a more sustainable alternative, requiring less water, fertilizer, land & energy with fewer emissions.

In the 1960s, the sugar industry funded its own research on the effects of sugar on health.
The results didn't look good - for them. Studies revealed a high-sugar diet may increase risks associated with heart attacks, strokes & certain cancers.
But... rather than share emerging findings, the study was curiously halted & the industry successfully shifted blame onto fats.
It took decades to widely link sugary diets to disease. It didn't have to. npr.org/sections/thesalt/2017/… #food #science
What The Industry Knew About Sugar's Health Effects, But Didn't Tell Us
The sugar industry pulled the plug on an animal study it funded in the 1960s. Initial results pointed to a link between sugar consumption and elevated triglycerides, which raises heart disease risk.NPR
