George Monbiot, Dr Emma Naluyima & Mark Lynas | Talks For Future #2

We talked with George Monbiot, Dr Emma Naluyima and Mark Lynas. Unfortunately, we had issues with copyright getting this week's live stream up, so sorry for the delay. Come back next Friday for another webinar!
6:14 George, why farming is so important now?
8:13 Mark, what climate science tells us about threats towards food production?
18:18 Emma, how can agriculture be more sustainable? Assessment of the situation in sub-Saharan Africa and her hands-on experience in circular farming.
22:52 George, what are the possible ways forward now? A look at aspects and further perspectives of food production.
27:13 Emma, how can we get around the deforestation for agricultural purposes problem and still produce enough food?
30:05 George, what is the government’s role to ensure a just transition to a sustainable food system and how can we make sure that the people whose livelihoods depend on farming, such as farming communities, are protected in the shift towards a more sustainable food system?
33:53 Mark, how much is animal agriculture contributing? Is it even possible to have sustainable meat and dairy production at today’s scale?
37:30 Emma, what are the biggest threats you are facing to your production? Is climate change having an impact in your community? Do you have any examples you’d like to share with us?
40:10 George, what are some things we can do as individuals? Does is it make a difference (what we do in our everyday lives) or do we need to go bigger?
43:13 Mark, how concerned are you that we won’t be able to feed everyone? What are the biggest threats, for example, more extreme weather, such as droughts, erosion of fertile soil, desert spreading, water shortages, nitrogen, etc? What do you think is the most dangerous?
43:12 Mark, how concerned are you that we won't be able to feed everyone?
46:34 George, how can we make the global distribution of food more equal? For example, we see huge overproduction in the west, while countries in the global south have shortages. How do we fix this?
50:39 Emma, if a farmer wants to reduce their climate footprint, how can they do this if they can't change their whole system?
55:59 How long do you think we can continue with business as usual until we see a big drop in food production?

As we did have some technical issues it cuts off around 2 minutes in, but restarts at 6:05 :)

[@TeunZijpGroningen]

I think it would helped if you would have shared the source-link to us (czcams.com/video/V922qTjyJD0/video.html).
But for the rest: keep up the good work! Loads of love from the Netherlands! 😘

Too bad, Emma has such a slow connection :/

[@ericdanielski4802]

First.

[@lifelove5053]

To feel more love, not eat animals, flour, products, sugar, coffee, cacao, alcohol, drugs, peanut, soy, neither tobacco, cannabis, and more toxic chemicals.
Eat 100% whole raw fresh plants and fruits, if I can, you can.

[@kajakern268]

what's wrong with peanuts, soy & hemp?

[@TeunZijpGroningen]

@@kajakern268, because the meat industry is shaming vegans/vegetarians for eating soy, because they claim that our soy consumption is responsible for burning down the Amazon rainforest. The meat industry ignores, however, the fact that consumption of soy by vegans is negectible compared to the huge bulk quantities consumed by animal life stock.
Someone once told me that the Amazon is mainly burned down to plant genetically modified soy, and according to the regulations, GMO soy cannot be used for human consumption, but it can me used to fead lifestock, aka the meat factory was behind it after all.

@@TeunZijpGroningen so (as i was saying) nothing's wrong with soy, but the problem is the meat industry & the idea of burning down forest in scales that can't regrow!
