Over the next ten years, we’re going to experience the #disruption of #food and #agriculture.
And I am going to focus on the cow. 🐄
Because the cow is — by far — the most inefficient food production technology on the planet. 🌍

Brexit and Trump were initially seen as jokes, but the new owner of the social media giant could pose a serious threat to democracy – and a boon for Vladimir Putin, writes David Troy.

I have put together a book with over 100 contributors that will share expertise and experiences from people all over the world. These crises are the biggest story in the world, and they must be spoken as far and wide as our voices can carry, and much further still.

Regional Council monitored air quality on bus only Manners St and found diesel particulate air pollution reduced by 28% and nitrogen dioxide by 18% since September 2021. This coincides with the expansion of our electric bus fleet. Big gains for the climate and for public health.

Infinite economic growth on a finite Earth is not progress but the descent into an Earth hostile to all life where the basics of water and food simply disappear and we are now just beginning to see the emergence of this new world and still politicians demand more economic growth

I’ve said this a few hundred times before but we don’t just need more smarter, cleaner, greener more efficient cars, we actually need cities & places that are designed to minimise the need to travel by car to undertake everyday non discretionary activities.

ALT What a con these 'so-called' cats are. They're supposed to have been domesticated since 7500BC. In that time, we humans have come up with the wheel, medicine, aeroplanes, art, the internet and much more. Yet cats are still shitting in flowerbeds and bringing us half-chewed mice as gifts. You'd think that with the thick end of 10.00 years of living with us under their belts, they'd have learned to occasionally bring us a nice bottle of wine or even an Amazon voucher or something to show their appreciation.

New Zealand is the world’s biggest importer of palm kernel expeller from the destroyed forests of SE Asia, to feed 6 million dairy cows, which pollute our rivers and the drinking water of rural people, and produce half of NZ’s emissions. This isn’t good!
Next Tuesday (23 May 16:25 pm), I will speak at the European Space Agency - @esa #LPS2022 Living Planet Symposium in Bonn.
I will present two decades of palm oil expansion in #Indonesia, impacts on natural #forests and future outlook in light of rapidly rising commodity prices

Christopher Luxon not keen on public transport subsidies today. Repeating that PT should stand on its own. When I reminded him most PT is subsidised and has been for a long time, he said he hadn't considered the subject much. nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/c…

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.
