How farmers can cut emissions | FT Climate Capital

- Agriculture and food account for about a quarter of all climate change-inducing greenhouse gas emissions. And with production methods becoming increasingly intensive, farmers are under scrutiny like never before. Now farming faces a big question: can it become more environmentally sustainable while continuing to feed a growing global population?

This article ignored am important part of the discussion and that is the advent of precision fermentation and the impact that will have on both dairy and meat farms in the future. Also I think there needs to be an important distinction made between the farmers lobby and the food lobby, i.e. those producing food to those who process it and sell it to us in supermarkets. The food lobby often likes to use the image of the farmer for their own gains and the media has allowed them to do so. If precision fermentation is as successful as some are now predicting, the gap between the interests of these two groups will deepen even further and which I fear will have devastating impacts for farmers everywhere. Governments need to be aware of this and help their agricultural sectors adapt.
כל עוד יש אוכלוסית העולם גדלה,העולם יתחמם(לא משנה כמה חקלאים באירלנד יפשטו רגל).אז העולם חם יותר,צריך לבנות סכרים.כנגד הצפות.צריך להתמודד עם מחסור במים,ואולי לשנות גידולים.
אם רוצים להפחית מתאן,צריך לשאוב אותו האטמוספרה.ולהשתמש במתאן לאנרגיה וכימיה
Animal husbandry: finding news ways of doing the same old things. Sounds like clean coal all over again.
How much emissions can be cut by not wearing new clothes, not using cars, not using bikes, not using phones, not drinking beer, wine? Tell me one thing that doesn’t make emissions
Depopulation.
How much emissions can be cut deleting wec and other "forums" 😅and all private jets of those philosophers telling us we are the problem?
@@DanielElia2036 not much actually. All of aviation is responsible for only 2-3% of emissions.
@@ahmednadim5859 all the cars of the world are responsible only for 1% of global co2 emissions.
You're just proving me right 👍😅
A 747 jet uses 30 gallons of fuel per minute to takeoff from the runway and approximately 25 g p m. In flight high above the clouds where the force of gravity is smaller therefore that co2 and emissions isn't diluted by the dampness of the clouds which in turn returns the carbon back to earth .this pollution from jets floats to the ozone layers. So why are the animals being blamed when their breathing is directly down to the ground where its consumed by the grass again quickly. How many cows would it take to create the same amount of pollution as 1 jet in 1minute
Everybody except Exxon BP Shell gotta cut their emissions right, a bunch of jokers
"quicker finishing time" = shorter lives, murdered earlier.
Stop with this cruel business. Time to evolve🌍
Are there any battery-powered tractors or combine harvesters? I suspect that's not possible, unless everything is grown in a greenhouse (heralding the end of bio-food as we know it). One solution is to close the farms - they are already trying that in parts of Europe. The result will be a huge increase in food prices (as we already see), followed by starvation, and then a war or two. That will be great for humanity and the environment.
But wait! The tiny CO2 increase has caused a massive boost to plant, tree and crop growth. Crop yields have never been so good! CO2 is actually good for the planet, we need more, not less CO2!
Its so sad to see all these poor cows who will be killed.
Stop paying for it?
Cows aren’t used for meat production
right because dead bodies grow on trees.@@seanfarrell6889
