Big agriculture warns farming must change or risk ‘destroying the planet’

>> The report is signed by Bayer, Mars, McCain Foods, McDonald’s, Mondelez, Olam, PepsiCo, Waitrose and others. They represent a potent political and corporate force, impacting the food supply chain around the world. They are also, according to critics, some of those most responsible for climate mismanagement with one calling the report “smoke and mirrors” and unlikely to address the real crisis.

And there you have it.

These companies are focused on highly processed non-meat cheap foods and they want to push the small farmers out.

>> “It’s pretty disingenuous,” said Kuyek. “Small, local food systems still feed most of the people on the planet and the real threat is that the industrial system is expanding at the expense of the truly sustainable system. Corporations are creating a bit of smoke and mirrors here, suggesting they are part of the solution when inevitably they are part of the problem.”

Basicaly they want to destroy small farmers for their own profit, using greenwashing as an excuse.

> But the pace of change has been “far too slow”, the report finds, and must triple by 2030 for the world to have any chance of keeping temperature rises under 1.5C, a level that if breached, scientists argue, will unleash even more devastating climate change on the planet.

This just says it all. “We didn’t do shit since Paris agreements were enacted.”

What you’ve got here is just more posturing from the industrialists who are ass-fucking us all straight into the apocalypse.

We’re all going to be fed more and more unhealthy garbage, with the excuse being that it’s for the sake of the species, when in reality the ones feeding us the garbage put us here in the first place. Meanwhile the 1% will eat like normal.
