We don’t need to invent new solutions in #foodsystems.

Indigenous communities have been sustainably looking after their land & resources for centuries. It’s the economic model that endangers them that needs to change - says @rukshanasn of @landcoalition

[IPES-Food @IPESfood]

There’s a proliferation of #netzero pledges.

But carbon credit schemes are a climate Wild West. They’re not permanent, they detract from the primary need to drastically reduce #fossilfuels, & will lead to the largest land grab in history, says @kirtanaSekaran of @FoEint
#cop27

[Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP) @IATP]

Today at #COP27 , @IATP & @IPESfood on #NetZero pledges in the food system. We’re evaluating these pledges, especially those of global livestock giants. Follow along ⬇️

[IPES-Food @IPESfood]

Giant livestock companies are making #netzero pledges. But these just mean collecting data from farmers, tweaking efficiency, and buying carbon offsets. None represents a wholesale change or cut in greenhouse gases. It’s greenwashing - says @IATPEurope

[Latha Swamy @LathaSwamy]

Civil society & social movements can fight back against corporate capture & concentration of power, which would boost post-pandemic #resilience, slash agriculture’s #GHG emissions by 75%, & shift $4 trillion to sustainable food and #farming.

NEW 📰 IPES-Food & @ETC_Group launch the #LongFoodMovement report | What would 2045 look like if it's still "agribusiness-as-usual"? Or can civil society & social movements prevail for healthy, equitable & sustainable #foodsystems? 🌍

We made history. We mobilized the AAPI vote in Georgia + helped to elect @ReverendWarnock. This was possible because of BIPOC community organizers, volunteers, + leaders who gave their time, resources, and skills to talk to AAPI communities here in Georgia.
