Amazing story on milk production in China, cow numbers and output increasing at crazy rate.

One farm increasing cow numbers from 233,000 to 500,000😱
One farm!🙄
The City Council of L.A. has announced that it will sign a so called “Plant Based Treaty”. Agritalk interviewed me on the topic. https://t.co/arFJmaDKxi
In a world where >800 million people go to bed hungry nightly, where 2 in 5 kids born have arrested physical development due to inadequate nutrition and >3 billion people can’t afford a healthy balanced diet, we can be very proud of high quality low emissions food production.
