It all comes back to land.
It's #WorldFoodDay. Let’s talk about the source of our food – land.
Just 1% of agriculture operators now control 70% of global farmland.
That’s not just inequality, it’s a #foodsystem crisis.

Israel has killed hundreds of journalists, including Anas al-Sharif. Meanwhile, the mainstream media continues to enable the genocide. The tide is not turning nor are journalists in the West developing a moral compass. They are entirely complicit.

🌾🥣 Hunger and malnutrition are a matter of #food access, inequality and poverty. #Hunger is a political choice: it's not rocket science 🧵👇
🚨 The world produces more food per person than ever before—yet 700 million people remain chronically undernourished.🌾🥣
#Hunger is about power, inequality, & broken systems.⚖️
So why are Nobel laureates calling for a ‘moonshot’ to boost food production?

The world produces more than enough #food to feed everyone.
Yet it is shamefully misallocated.
BigAg firms make more profit by exporting food for animal feed, biofuels, or ultra-processed foods, than selling it to poor people. 1/3 of all food is simply wasted.
