“Fortunately, we know many ways we can make the food system more resilient while reducing food emissions. The biggest opportunity in high-income nations is a reduction in meat consumption and exploration of more plants in our diets,” said Dr. Paul Behrens, an associate professor of environmental change at Leiden University in the Netherlands.”
Eat your cockroaches.
And there you have it. They are intentionally creating a famine so they can blame it on “Climate Change”.
WGAF.
Let them import grain from the Ukraine!
It’s always bad news , never we can grow more ,LOL
Springtime cold snaps more often, longer winters, shorter growing seasons...these things happen going into these beginning decades of a grand solar minimum - a time that will return the world to the conditions of the Maunder minimum, the Little Ice Age. Increased famines and disease.
The world should be preparing for the coming cold times instead of the constant hectoring over CO2 and solar panels and windmills and electric cars.
Famine is a very effective weapon.
No, it's the extreme totalitarian policies that are wreaking havoc on farming and farmers.
How is this year’s cricket harvest looking?
You can bet your bippy that if the grocery stores are empty the elites who want global depopulation will have their hidey-holes wellstocked.
I'm sure Britain will make sure its migrants are first in line for whatever limited food supplies are available. Native Brits can starve.
Wokism includes mass starvation, but it will have to happen before anyone believes it.
A scan of area farm fields, yesterday:
Several are resting. Some are alfalfa for the fertilizer effect, plus feed for livestock. Otherwise, a small portion for soybeans. No corn.
But, there are still 6-7 weeks remaining for a crop to be seeded - I am guessing soy beans and corn.
All according g to plan. After the revolution the revolutionaries must start genocide by starvation.
Arable land was about 29.7% in 1961, and has dropped to 24.8% as of 2021.Individual "net zero" can be achieved when the farmers give up their lands to government.... One has found this throughout the entire last century,,,,Arable land (% of land area) - United Kingdom
"The scale of the challenge requires a step change in investment. Our intention is that farmers and land managers can earn income from public sources like our environmental land management schemes but also attract greater finance from the private sector for sequestering carbon, improving water quality, and increasing biodiversity."
The Net Zero Growth Plan and our farming offer
"Achieving net zero in the agricultural sector by as early a date as possible – ideally 2030 – is vital in order to mitigate the UK's contribution to climate change, and to provide ‘head room’ for other economic sectors to decarbonise.
"Achieving net zero will require large-scale reductions in emissions from the agricultural sector, as well as offsetting and carbon sequestration through approaches such as rewilding, agro-ecological farming practices and reforestation.
"Achieving net zero in the agricultural sector will be made much easier by a cross-governmental commitment to the use of ‘demand-side measures’.
"A comprehensive land-use strategy will be necessary to create the required shifts in practice within the short period of time available to decarbonise our economy and contribute to averting the climate emergency.
"There are a number of practical, implementable approaches to achieving net zero emissions, including: halving meat and dairy consumption by 2030, halving food waste by 2030, and reducing the UK's demand for imported and domestically grown animal feed by enabling the use of food surplus as safely-treated feed for pigs and chickens."Achieving net zero in the agricultural sector
Major shift in UK land use needed to deliver Net Zero emissions
One observes that in all this "net zero" enthusiasm, feeding a populace at reasonable prices is absent. This is about GROWING the power of an elite political class.
Don’t know about the UK, but here in US many have porked away enough spare calories to withstand a lot of famine! Couple months of enforced ketosis, might not be fun but might still be beneficial. And if their metabolism is truly as slow as some pro-fatties claim, they’ll last that much longer. Progressively tax the “fat rich” by selectively allocating calories to those who are “fat-poor.” And unlike the government buying up then doling out “free” food spending down the large, off budget, national fat bank account wouldn’t be inflationary. Might even offer $ tax breaks for those patriotically downsizing their wardrobe.
