Even if fossil fuel emissions stopped overnight, our current food production system could push global warming past 1.5°C on its own, says the latest EAT-Lancet report.
To prevent that, we must shift to regenerative practices and make healthy, plant-rich diets the easy option.

Wild stat from @ciwf.eu: in the EU, we waste 2x as much food feeding grain to factory-farmed animals as we do throwing it away.
Meanwhile, millions go hungry.
Here’s a thought, EU leaders: how about using public money to grow food for people, not feed for profit?
