It'll be hard to fix agriculture as long as the USDA and other government systems heavily incentivize and subsidize industrialized agriculture while ignoring smallholders and alternative approaches.
Let the free market work freely!!
Most of the cost of foods are subsidized, why?
@@onedeathbyflame you cannot have markets without property, and you cannot have property without an authority that decides who owns what. we call such authorities governments. a completely free market is self contradictory

The speakers are spouting gibberish! What does this have to do with Mandatory Energy Austerity Taxation?
You'd think that the obesity rate alone would be enough for us to admit that there's a serious problem in the way we eat :/
Along with something wrong with the ways we remain active. Imagine we walked more instead of being so sedentary in a car centric society. We could be like Japan in regards to public transport, the important thing is we walk more since we would frequently change between the means of transport on foot.

@@melelconquistador Railroads require lots of land..... wouldn't cars technically be much better for the environment? Unless you want to run railroads into existing lands already preoccupied by roads....
@@randomdude4110 refurbishing land occupied by roads sounds ideal. Just remember the idea is supplement transport, not to entirely dominate it. Its not like we will build rail lines to individual buildings, that would be ludicrous. It would be best used in condensed living like cities, as is the case in Japan where they have very limited flat land and as such they maximize use of it. We could consider how to scale back urban sprawl while ensuring people have a sense of dignified residence and community in environments with high population density. Doing that is hard, since people like to be themselves even when they are unpleasant.
Climate change comment sections are only second to Covid comment sections.
Because there's so much fluff misinformation. Trying to play on fear of a tipping point when in reality plants grow better with more CO2, we've had periods of over 3000PPM atmospheric co2, and the greenhouse effect being impossible on earth but they still tryna convince you we're gonna end up Venus.
@@trent5098 "and the greenhouse effect being impossible on earth" source to your claims?
lmao the comments on your comment just proved you right lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
@@trent5098 fun fact they studied fossil plants and seen 3 problems.
1 co2 was at 1,200 ppb and plants needed very few breathing holes.
2 temperatures were at 110 to 130f they noted the plants were having a hard time not cooking.
3 the more co2 is in the air the less holes needed for the plant to breath but makes it even harder to keep cool.
So fun fact are plants today have 8 to 11 times more breathing holes so they don't suffocate.
1 more fun fact a indoor study added co2 to the room increase temperatures and watched how the plants responds.
The room had 750 ppb in co2 temperatures were at 97f humidity was at 65% this stimulated 100,000 years ago and guess what the plants struggled to keep cool and keep water in them the breathing holes went from 14 to 20 holes in a square inch to 6 to 10 holes in 1 sq inch it couldn't keep cool for that very resone.
Oh fun fact world wide co2 is at 450 to 480 ppb were getting closer to plants struggling to not cook alive.
It's the fingers-in-their-ears saying "LALALALALA I CANT HEAR YOU REALITY DOESNT EXIST LALALA!" crowd.

Ikr. I love how my peoples have been trying to tell settlers since they arrived to live in harmony with mother earth. To care for her and allow replenishing of nature. 7 generations. We think ahead seven generations and protect the land and water. The air we breathe now has ways to be cleaned too. The ways we live now, our world would be very sick in 7 generations. It has only been a few hundred years, and the land is completely changed. But now that climate change and pollution is a major topic, these activists act like they discovered the holy grail, in finally considering the earth we live. Yet we have been screaming and fighting to protect the lands since the beginning. It's a bit ridiculous.
These companies and corporations need to be held accountable as well. To often the average person is blamed even though we play our part in the degradation of the planet. It's going to take a global effort.
Permaculture is the answer. Sepp Holzer made so much progress in this field, don’t wait till he’s dead to revolutionize our ecosystem integration. He made a lake in an arid mountain with no cement or anything, totally created a water table and saved a village. It could be done all over. Get permaculture more press. Listen to the lorax. Also, next gen nuclear is absolutely necessary. There is no other way that seems viable in our time frame. Just an off-grid feral yurt dweller with a solar system on a farm over here, don’t listen to me, but cows turn grass into food, and make fertilizer. They can be integrated, and well should be.
Times been running out
Before time runs out? "The trouble is, you think you have time."
So.. the point is?… that we don’t have time so it doesn’t matter?
Yeah I think Al Gore was correct and the earth was destroyed in like 2001. Maybe no one believes you guys because you've been wrong about literally everything?
Renerative farming can reverse the warming that has occurred, if used on a mass scale
We still can stop further warming of the planet, but not reverse it(At least not in this half of ceuntry), we already run out of time to reverse it in 90s, but we still can limit warming. The worst thing you can do is fall into climate doomerism, because when you are drowning and you panic what happens? You drowning more. The same thing with climate doomerism, you fall in climate doomerism and you like - Nah it's too late whatever, i will go eat some beef and have a flight to maldives, anyways i will go have a walk and will drop some bottles on the street, cuz it won't matter, we are already doomed - and if everyone will do like this, we will be really doomed, but if people will realise that we still have time and act - like having a plant rich diet, flying less, using public transportation, consuming less, voting for climate politicians and inspiring others to act - then we will really be saved. I already did my thing, so go did your. Feel free to copy and paste.
I read Joe Salatin’s book, “Folks, This Ain’t Normal”. Very interesting!
For a bigger laugh, get onto Allan Savory.
We must shift away from corporate agriculture to regenerative farming and regenerative ranching.
We must genocide half of the population before Mandatory Energy Austerity 'Carbon'(sic) Taxes, then go 'regenerative'. Otherwise humanity will go insane, seeing half of the population made jobless, homeless and starving on the sidewalks. That Amazon tribe has 4,000 acres to harvest but it feeds only a couple 100 people. Please use your education better.
That is impossible with the demand for meat/ animal products because only a small percentage of "food" animals would be able to sustain themselves on grasses instead of soy/corn. The solution MUST include making our diets more plant based for us to stand a chance at having a sustainable future.
Thank you for addressing the issues with livestock and meat production. I'm not even vegetarian but I know I should eat less meat, and meat eaters everywhere should be aware that this is a major problem. Reactionary people will throw a tantrum when you point this out, but there's no way around it.

Rachel Carson, “Silent Spring”. Written in the late 60’s, said all of this. No one listened. We are doomed.
I'm sure you mean well but we definitely did listen to Rachel Carson lol. We banned a ton of herbicides and pesticides thanks to her, and it sort of lead to the EPA being established a while later.
Rachel Carson worked for the BioPharmaceutical companies, right after the patent on DDT ran out, and it sold for pennies. Robins died because people complained about mosquitoes in their outdoor parties, not because of Evil DDT. Dow Chemical has an FDA-approved version of Agent Orange now, they're able to spray within 100 feet of schools and churches, and most of the amphibians have died off. But not in Africa, where they still use DDT for malaria control, because DDT is harmless!
A change of diet which supports a change of agriculture is one of the easiest changes an individual can make. Sadly, I don't see enough people doing that in a timely manner.
I have grandchildren and I fear for their future as much as I fear losing my home to flood or hurricane right now. The problem is here and growing worse but most people don't change until they have to, by the time enough people change it will be too late to reverse the damage.

Reduce emissions (eat less meat; look for sustainable products; consume less in general; recycle & reuse).
Remove emissions (plant trees; use Carbon Removed).
Individual action is needed. Your actions make up the society. Spread the word and vote for climate politicians. Only as a group moving towards a collective goal will we be able to make a difference.
@@floki1664 This is why he said "consume less in general". The only way to reduce pollution is to stop overconsuming. People should live like people lived in the 60s and 70s: homes a bit smaller, one car per family maximum, travel by airplane once every 10 years (or never), purchase fewer products of quality at a higher price rather than overconsume products of low quality (imported from China), etc. Go ask people who lived in the 60s-70s if life was great back then, and they will most likely tell you that it was. In the past, people also consumed much less meat, as it was expensive. Why was it expensive? Because most farms were small and used less chemicals and less heavy machinery, and they also had less animals per farm
@@PG-3462 my parents were born in 1910. You can ask me. Car culture was coming on strong. I owned several cars at a time in the sixties. There were a lot less people but lots of cars per person. The engines were a lot bigger. Ten miles per gallon was average. People lived in the biggest house they could afford. We were talking about the destruction of the biosphere and some of It's symptoms such as emerging viruses and greenhouse gases and poison in our food and full citizenship for non-whites and women and the scary war machines. My high school memories are about upside down cars burning in the parking lot and police in riot gear lining the hallways.

@@kathryncasey4114 I'm from Québec in Canada, and here things were not as they are today in the 1960s, nor in the 1970s. My grandparents were born in a region called Gaspésie between 1945 and 1948, and they didn't even have electricity and running water yet. I thought it was similar in the USA, but I guess the USA has always been much richer than Canada and people thus started overconsuming earlier (Québec has historically always been the poorest province of Canada, as the english speaking federal government saw french canadians as second class citizens, just like Afro-Americans in the US. Fortunately, it is not like that anymore)
@@PG-3462 Wow,. Thanks for your generous response. So cool.
I was just reminiscing. Meat was the largest portion of every meal. Prisoners were sprayed with DDT. A white person was never prosecuted for harming a black person: shot himself in the head 17 times, worst case of suicide I've ever seen. Brown people were worked to exhaustion to pay for barely enough to eat. I didn't have to obey the same laws as the folks on the other side of town. I was a flower child trying to get up the courage to drop a daisy down the barrel of a loaded rifle held by boys who weren't much older than me and looked just as frightened as I was. The people my age should have done better. We knew better. We could have have done better. When I tried to call folks out about the dangers of our lifestyle I was told that it won't happen in my lifetime and the kids will solve the problems we create. I fear that too many people today want to deal with today's problems in ways that will create even bigger problems for the future. The biggest threat to children and other living things is us humans.

Anyone paying attention to the fairy creek protests would know this by now. Natives aren't environmentalists, and aren't the friend of environmentalists.

“Climate change isn’t about the environment”
👁👄👁 is she serious?

Because they don't care about actually doing anything about the climate crisis. They're here to profit off our our viewership because they know this is what we all want to talk about, because really this is the only issue left that matters.
These types of topics are very important to understand. If we don’t learn more about how native people used to cultivate their lands, the earth will get warmer and the oceans will keep getting more acidic over time. If you don’t understand, Google how native agriculture can assist the earths natural healing process. I know it can be hard to understand how racism impacts agriculture, but it does. 🙏🏼

It's been too late to beat the climate crisis. In the 50s, 60s, and 70s we already knew what was coming. We knew what the point of no return was. And companies back then did everything they could to cover it all up... Well here we are decades later, and the consequences of those actions are now staring us right in the face and we have the audacity to act like it isn't too late to act. When you're driving towards a brick wall at 100 mph. There comes a point where you have to acknowledge it's too late to slam on the breaks. The most we can do now is just make sure we have our seat belt on. Because the impact is coming.
The impact is here. It’s may be too late to get what we’ve lost back but that doesn’t mean we give up. Never in human history has there been this many people and never in human history have we had technology and an understanding of our world like what we have today. Saying it’s too late is the cowards way out. Every one of us can challenge ourselves and do our part or we can be weak like you. Do you want to die of old age knowing you didn’t even try ? I’m sure the results won’t be what we expect but I’d rather try than be a quitter. If your going to be such a defeatist keep it to yourself.
Every HUMAN should watch this and others. We need to stop thinking "HUGE" and start thinking "SMART". The "mass consumption chapter" needs to end and move on to the next chapter of "returns".
We will adapt and struggle until the very near and definite end of all life on earth. We will laugh in the face of pain and suffering.

Great documentary...btw 10,20 ...that's Cavendish bananas right? But why do we only grow them, platano canario are great n I'm sure lots of others too.
Time to eat more plants. It’s a no brainer. Save your health. Help save the world.
Could be? It is. We are in the 6th extinction right now.
There are more trees now globally than any time in the past 100 years. *America was a stump farm before fossil fuels.*
Baaaahhhh!!!
I mean instead of blaming racism and colonialism and cow farts...
why don't we talk solar cycles?
Urban sprawl is taking existing farmland, causing more farmland to be needed then created. Should look at the initial cause first.
Nope. It's animal agriculture.
If 3/4 of the developed world decided to cut down 3/4 of their meat consumption and governments cut subsides to animal agriculture by 3/4 your jaw would fall to the ground by how much land would be freed up for wildlife and ecosystems to recover in...
Good piece. Needs more views.
My question is, what's the point in trying to reduce my consumption when political conservatives and developing countries are trying to increase there's as fast as possible? I went vegan for 4 years, and joined an enviormental club. All I got talking to people outside of the club was whining and crying that if they ate one less burger a week they would literally die. I don't think humans as a species are smart enough to survive. It's sad, but on the universal scale I guess it doesn't really matter
There are enough kind & intelligent people to make it worth it. Plus, I like the way things are right now, and I'm not really down to live in an eco dystopia, where all the coastlines are flooded and there's a mass global inland migration event.
Or maybe you're thinking in the wrong direction. If human behaviour is not going to change then working solutions would be those that take that into account.
This video attacks so many areas I don’t know what to believe anymore. Is it large scale farming? Capitalism? Racial injustice? I’ve never seen sustainable Ag be associated with so many social justice issues.
Why do you think agriculture got to this point? Food demand! More and more people eating more and more food.
A third of food production globally doesn’t get eaten. It gets thrown away. We are massively over supplying the demand for food, and a lot of that consumption is of low nutritional value.
@@chrsmcfrln But everything can still be traced to people's behavior. People want perfectly red and symmetrical apples, they want a huge portion when they go to restaurant, etc.
You ever think, maybe all of these issues are related? It's called system thinking, the ecology of western food standards
Regenerative processes from the farm to our front door reduces climate issues. I am a Regenerative Lawn Care company, and to date have stored over 70 tons of Carbon. Our home’s lawns, beds and gardens are apart of the problem and solution. It’s our mindset for management that’s has direct negative or positive outcomes. Building soil teeming with life is the key to all life.

Let’s just run it out and see what happens
I farm sustainably, using many of the methods used by Joel Salitan. HOWEVER, this report has an agenda, thus half truths. Sustainable ag produces far less than commercial ag. With 8+ billion people on this planet, HOW will sustainable ag feed all the hungry? The report does not address this.
Joseph Stalin! Just kidding keep up the good fight, but know, we be fxcked.
The agenda, to overshadow the elephant in the room fart aka the military industrial complex by pointing out cow fart.
@@andrewweaver2517 So, Andrew, how do we feed 8+ Billion people using sustainable ag? One item we produce is eggs, and we rotate, just like Joel, and sell to retailers. We get around $6 a dozen, the retailers get $7.50 +. The vast majority of people n the world, including Americans, can not afford $6/dz much less $7.50/dz.
@@lorenzoblum868 So, Lorenzo, the report is correct in that feedlots do generate a lot of methane without regenerating the pasture.
The problem is, how to feed 8+ billion people via sustainable ag.
Like the farm problem, giving up the military without an alternative is foolish .... unless you prefer speaking Chinese, Spanish or other colonial language.

Benefits of aquaponics-
-Saves 90% of water
-Can grow vertically rather than horizontally.
-No pesticides.
-Can get fresh fish so the ocean and fresh water stocks can get back up.
-Don’t kill any animals planting like traditional farming.
-fish won’t be subjected to chemicals in water and will have a controlled environment.
-less time wasted on weeds, pests, and diseases
-in traditional farming the soils needs to changed or the plant eventually drains the nutrients from the soil and can lead to nutrient depletion and soil infertility.
-in aquaponics you can grow year round.
-traditional farming uses a lot of fissile fuels.
Anything I’m missing?

Having a conversation about climate change without mentioning the energy and transport sectors is like talking about a car crash without mentioning the drunk driver, you aren't going to solve this crisis by eating organic. The only way out is to generate clean energy and use that to power vehicles. These "sustainable" models of agriculture have one major problem people don't talk about: low production rates. Assuming we account for the same land use, if all agriculture was done in this way we would be able to feed maybe a billion people. That isn't a solution. This degrowth bullshit is genocide.
genocide sounds dramatic but the point about how we cannot leave energy and transport out of the equation is 100% on the money
You misspelled the elephant in the room, aka the military industrial complex.
Well I would say "Genocide" is way better then mass extinction. But it won't actually be a genocide. Its more like the problem of starvation that we still haven't bothered to try a little harder and solve even with this much production rate reaching unprecedented heights. Which is why the whole process of not only using renewable energy but also ways of sustaining and serving civilization in a whole by different alternative means is suppose to be a slow and careful monitered process and more importantly requires some form of unity among the global powers to reach a common goal. And that if you ask me is pretty much impossible considering current circumstances were nations dont give two f*** when it comes escalating things and pouring fuel on fire just to stay ahead in their rivelries.
Notmy, you're spot on about the low production of sustainable farming. I farm, sustainably, and yep, my yield is much less than big ag. And, when I ask promoters of sustainable ag how we are to feed 8+ billion people, they close their ears.
@@danpress7745 what do you grow if you don't mind sharing?
The bigger the town, the bigger the farm. Wanna slow agricultural growth?.. leave the big cities, move to a small parcel, and grown your own food. Move far enough away and nobody will ever come to collect your land taxes. It’s up to us
Exactly. But the corrupt elitenwant us skinny and dependent.
thats not remotely viable. You understand without urbanization society would collapse
how does splitting up a giant farm into a million tiny farms do anything? aren't we still going to eat the same amount of food anyway?
@@zzmoonz no way. We do no need urbanization. Society won’t collapse it will just change. Don’t associate lack of growth with failure and collapse

This is scary
In all seriousness, eating vegetables and insects can solve 70% of the environmental problems being talked about today. I don't mean catch and eat insects. There are many ways to process it into a granola bar or a "ham". It's good for you too. I know many people will hate it because they are not used to the idea of eating insects, but we eat shrimp and crabs, aren't they the "insects" of the sea?
I never ate shrimps or crabs
You will eat ze bugs
You will live in ze pod
You will own nothing
You will be happy
You first.
Lmao go ahead and eat all the insects you want because they taste just like lobster.
The planet was made for humanity, there's no need for humanity to live with less because a handful of wealthy trillionaires say so with their fake climate agenda. the Ancient Mayan Government ran the same scam, pay a tax or the sun won't come up in the Morning.
We need systemic changes, but that doesn't mean we can not make a difference at this moment. Whomever is reading this change the way you eat now, for your health and the health of the planet. If we all do this then we can fight against these systems. Yes I am saying if you are financially able and have access, to at least become vegetarian and then vegan. Hopefully this rubs off on someone.
Climate change is not that severe what was showcased in this video.

"Climat change isnt about the environment. Its about racial injustices as well." no no its about the environment not about race.
VICE trying to inject their woke beliefs into something totally unrelated.
It's about negative externalities. That these are passed on to the global South is de facto a matter of racial injustice.
But yes, the message could have been articulated a bit better.
@@mattb154 That's not racial injustice though, that implies a specific race is being unfairly targeted. It's economic injustice. Poorer people are more vulnerable, as well as poorer countries, since they can't just afford to move or deal with the effects of climate change as easily.
@@skyhappy So would you say that the whole history of colonialism has nothing to do with racial injustice, then?

Had the exact same thought
I def think they could have said some of the things better than they did... I see the point they made ( I'm Inuit) , if whoever came here to the US never came we wouldn't be concerned about how mother nature is being destroyed ... BUT not too sure what us being brutalized has to do with how mother nature is being destroyed ??
Meta until you watch the whole video and actually pay attn to the things portrayed and said that had nothing to do with the video ... don't come at me foul with your ignorant nonsense my OWN MOTHER AND HER FAMILY went through racist sh** ... for all I know my own mom was probably raped in the schools they made her go to along with the beatings she would get( she is Inuit from a small village ) ... so don't tell me I am in the wrong ...

Lets Vegan! 🌱

Animals lives matter!!
Only DRINK WATER!!
More than that - need to grow our food more locally whenever possible.

@@danaalston1420 This is exactly why becoming 100% vegan is not exactly the best solution for everyone on the planet. If you live in a region where nuts, all kind of cereals and fruits rich in fat like avocados can grow, then becoming 100% vegan is for sure very sustainable. However, for those living in very cold, arid or mountainous regions, then having some meat is better. Not as much meat as society currently consumes, but becoming 100% vegan is not exactly the best choice in all scenarios. Actually, the most sustainable way of doing agriculture would be to integrate both meat and vegetal farming together, just like it was done in the past. In this way, the animals can help to fight against weeds and insects, while giving some fertilizer and increasing the food and useful material output generated on the same parcel of land.
I will send you a great video if you want to understand what I'm talking about. The video is unfortunately in french, but the images alone will explain it for you. If you want more explanations, it is about a rice farmer who decided a few years ago to stop using chemicals and heavy machinery and to use a technique which was used in the past in Japan. The geese eat insects and weeds that grow in the rice, while giving fertilizer. Those same geese will also become food for us humans at some point, which thus increase food production of the parcel of land. Then, to avoid destroying the land, the farmer makes a crop rotation. His land is divided in 4: 2/4 are rice fields with geese, 1/4 is in fallow, where cows eat the grass freely and the last 1/4 is a wheat field for human consumption. In this way, without ever needing a single bit of chemicals nor heavy machinery, this farmer can sustainably produce a very high quantity of food. No vegan setup could ever produce as much food as this. ruclips.net/video/Y_BjNgnrxL8/видео.html
