As a reminder for #COP15 in #Montreal:
"Our global food system is the primary driver of #biodiversity loss, with agriculture alone being the identified threat to 24,000 of the 28,000 (86%) species at risk of extinction."

@andrereichel Because the planet is trying to support 4x more people than it reasonably and sustainably can.
@ScottSoCal
That is not true. We can feed up to 10bn people sustainably on the planet, we just have to reconfigure and rethink the global food system and global diets. The myth that there are too many people on the planet is a dangerous idea coming from a right-wing perspective on ecological theory, cf. Timothy Snyder and his work on e.g "Black Earth".
