Farming is a tough job & it's only getting tougher as our climate changes.
But what if there was a better way to feed 10 billion people, one that didn't involve hardship, slaughtering animals or wrecking the environment?
There is, as @georgemonbiot.bsky.social explains.

Goddamn it, it’s so annoying when Monbiot is completely right.
1. We cannot now rule out the possibility of systemic collapse in the United States. If Trump and Musk paralyse the federal government, this could trigger social, financial and industrial failures. Neither Trump nor his team know how to respond to such failures, which could snowball and converge. 🧵
