How much agricultural land is used by an average omnivore and an average vegan (based on average western data)? The table below shows the hectares of land used by one person. (data are obtained by Gemini.) An omnivore uses three times as much agricultural land as a vegan, mostly due to the extra grazing land. #Data #Gemini #land #vegan #plantbased #sustainability #farming #diet #food

"Beginning in the summer, El Niño typically peaks around December or the following January." 🧵 "#ElNiño can contribute to severe droughts in one part of the world and heavy rainfall in others — both of which can disrupt growing seasons in key breadbaskets of the world." Frida Garza for Grist.org: https://grist.org/food-and-agriculture/the-super-el-nino-is-here-what-happens-next-could-upend-farming-worldwide/ In 1877, one of the strongest El Niños ever recorded was associated with historic droughts across Asia, as well as in parts of Brazil and northern Africa. These droughts, “along with colonial policies, contributed to famines in many regions which were really devastating,” said Deepti Singh @climatechirper.bsky.social. The fatalities associated with these famines were upward of 50 million people.

Today, the royalties it has generated for rancher Peter Ferrell are allowing him to pass the farm down to his children. The 50 turbines—which Ferrell barely notices these days—have provided half of his income since then, insulating him and […] The post Wind Turbines Provide Half of Rancher’s Income Since He Decided to Invite Them on His Land appeared first on Good News Network.
