I used to think that this ( He says it’s not about climate. So why is Bill Gates investing in farmland?) was just an investment and not a conspiracy.

Now it appears to be part of a wider plan.

Food for thee and not for me.

I just pray that Patriots remember the people at CNBC and other such Commie propaganda sources when the SHTF. They will need to be held accountable. Please bookmark this article.

The next crisis after climate change

[Flick Lives]

According to the U.N., soil erosion may reduce up to 10% of crop yields by 2050

“May.” More panic porn.

I remember learning about the dustbowl and soil conservation in 6th grade.

Another BS UN statement

[bk1000]

Now there is a dirt shortage. Is there anything democrats can’t screw up?

[butlerweave]

Relax Earth never stops composting ,LOL

[madison10]

Never heard of this before. Figures.

[moovova]

What in Hades are they talking about? (Do I have to start hoarding dirt?)

I can go to Lowe's and buy top soil all day long...

[madison10]

So true. My compost bin says so.

"The research has found regenerative, organic agriculture produces yields up to 40% higher during droughts, can earn farmers greater profits and releases 40% fewer carbon emissions than conventional agricultural practices."

This part reminded me of something....

In Sri Lanka, Organic Farming Went Catastrophically Wrong

[Signalman]

Gasoline, food, soil...what’s next, air?

[WVNan]

The last sentences are the good news. One has to read the entire reports to get the gist of things.

“I can go to Lowe’s and buy top soil all day long...”

You use garden soil for top soil?

[Common Sense 101]

Funny how this alleged “climate change” doesn’t seem to adversely impact the number of dumbasses blathering their nonsense on the planet...

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

--- "Soil can be considered black gold, and we're running out it. The United Nations declared soil finite and predicted catastrophic loss within 60 years."

While the UN has found "soil finite," I see the globalist excrement infinite.

I saw bags of dirt for sale at Walmart. In the toy aisle next to the Tonka trucks. 2 cups of dirt in a bag. I know dirt and soil are not the same but living in rural Oklahoma I can’t imagine paying $ for play dirt.

[Parmy]

Eroded soil has to go someplace.

[JoJo354]

I call BS on this “soil shortage! All around our area farmland is being bought and thousands of acres of trees are being cut down...for solar panels! They are everywhere and we are losing good fertile acres by the thousands! Isn’t green and progressive great?
