I dislike audible notifications, so I've turned them all off. A few times over the past year, my laptop has played one and I can't figure out what's triggered it. It's Outlook email. It's when someone emoji reacts to an email.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?
Food systems are the #2 contributor to climate change, the #1 driver of deforestation, the #1 driver of biodiversity loss on land, and the #1 user of freshwater.
