If Denmark can get farmers to agree to dropping their nitrates derogation, adopting a carbon tax on meat, government promotion of plant-based diets and rewilding a fifth of the country - why can't Ireland?

Clear message from WRI: Eat less beef.
There’s no such thing as climate-friendly beef—despite a growing number of "carbon neutral" and "net zero" beef labels entering the marketplace.
New WRI research reveals why: it’s about the land.

Vilde areal-proportioner! Der kommer voldsomt meget mere energi ud af en hektar med solceller end en hektar med raps, og på en hektar med solceller er der også plads til lidt biodiversitet 🦋 #dkgreen #dkpol
The world dedicates a Poland-sized area of land to producing liquid biofuels such as bioethanol & biodiesel. Is there a more efficient way to generate energy?
Putting solar panels on the land used for biofuels, e.g., would produce enough electricity for all cars and trucks worldwide to go electric.

“If Americans increased their protein intake by just 25%…it would require about 100 million acres of additional ag land each year — an area larger than Michigan, Ohio & Pennsylvania combined — & increase annual emissions by 100s of millions of tons of CO2e, according to @worldresources.bsky.social.”

New US dietary guidelines “make an aggressive turn to recommending an abundance of animal-sourced foods — meat and dairy — putting them at odds with both the consensus in nutrition science and the federal government’s own expert advisers.” Good read by @mbolotnikova.bsky.social 👇
The most painful part of the dietary guidelines for me specifically
Threading a gift link, and @kcklatt.bsky.social's Substack post now has some excellent additional context on the guidelines' treatment of plant-based diets that's worth a read

Stor skuffelse i CONCITO over regeringens klimamål. Udskyder de beslutninger, der fremadrettet skal drive omstillingen i landbrug, industri og transport og får slet ikke adresseret ansvaret for vores globale forbrugsudledninger #dkgreen #dkpol #klimalov
Nyt klimamål på 82 % i 2035 er både uambitiøst og utilstrækkeligt

Det er ikke for sjov, når Parisaftalens parter anerkender "at bæredygtig livsstil, bæredygtige forbrugsmønstre og bæredygtig produktion, med industrilands-parterne i spidsen for indsatsen, spiller en vigtig rolle med hensyn til at imødegå klimaændringer." Sæt i gang #dkgreen #dkpol
Replik: Jo, Danmark bør selvfølgelig tage ansvar for udledninger drevet af danske forbrugsmønstre

No ham in hamburgers, no dogs in hot dogs - and consumers get it. The EU should focus on promoting sustainable diets, not on policing words and making obvious obstacles to plant-based foods. CONCITO supports this call against the "veggie burger ban" 🍔🌱 #noconfusion
‼️Over 600 stakeholders have now united against the "Veggie Burger Ban"
From NGO's to companies, the message to the EU institutions is clear: consumers are not confused and we don't need costly restrictions that will harm consumers, businesses, and the shift to sustainable foods.

Nej tak, Danish Crown. Når DK skal producere flere sunde kalorier og proteiner på et mindre landbrugsareal med mindre klima- og miljøbelastning, er det ikke en kæmpe vækst i antallet af dyr vi har brug for, men en vækst i produktionen af planter til konsum. #dkgreen #dkfood
