Here's the hard truth—If we don't rapidly reduce our emissions (via carbon levy & other measures) & don't blunt the impacts of climate change, the food price increases of the past years will be eclipsed by much larger supply & price shocks in coming years

It's time for farmers and consumers to sit down together to discuss the concentration of corporate interests that control prices from farm inputs to food chains.

[National Farmers Union nationale des fermiers @NFUcanada]

Il est temps que les agriculteurs et les consommateurs s’assoient ensemble pour discuter de la concentration des intérêts corporatifs, qui contrôlent les prix allant des intrants agricoles jusqu’aux chaînes d’alimentation.

Trade panel rules to end Mexico's restrictions on #GMO corn for food: “...runs counter to a national consensus in Mexico on the threat of GM corn to Mexico’s food sovereignty.” PR today from @NFUcanada @biotechaction @CanadiansOrg @ccpa https://t.co/qvKkUpTls3

Canada’s National Farmers Union is cynical about Sustainable Aviation Fuels.

SAF could stand for “Sacrificing Affordable Food,” argues Darrin Qualman, Director of Climate Crisis Policy and Action for Canada's NFU. 1/2

This International Migrants Day 2024, the NFU calls for solidarity between farmers, farm workers, and the broader public to create a more just and equitable food system.

À l’occasion de la Journée internationale des migrants 2024, l’UNF appelle à la solidarité entre les fermiers, les travailleurs agricoles et le grand public afin de créer un système alimentaire plus juste et plus équitable.

They call this Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). There will be competition for farmland and impacts on food prices. SAF = Sacrificing Affordable Food? Read the report: https://t.co/765e4cOQEU

[National Farmers Union nationale des fermiers @NFUcanada]

Farmland is scarce. We need to feed 2 billion MORE people by mid-century, even as climate impacts make farming harder.

And airlines plan to shift their fuel source from oil fields to farm fields—to produce 600billion litres/yr from grain, straw, & farm-grown trees & grasses

[National Farmers Union nationale des fermiers @NFUcanada]

@lesmfunk Great question and a longer response required. We're happy to answer questions by email at [email protected]

[National Farmers Union nationale des fermiers @NFUcanada]

“Sustainable Aviation Fuel”, SAF?

Farmland should produce food, not jet fuel!

Producing the fuel required globally will use more farmland than in all of Cad. There’s no quicker way to raise your food prices.

« Carburant aviation durable » Les terres agricoles devraient produire de la nourriture, pas du kérosène !

La production du carburant nécessaire à l'échelle mondiale nécessitera plus de terres agricoles que dans l'ensemble du Cad. Lisez : https://t.co/P1IiW9GlP1

Que faudra-t-il pour attirer les gens vers l'agriculture et leur permettre de s'épanouir et de construire de la communauté ?

[National Farmers Union nationale des fermiers @NFUcanada]

What will it take to attract people into agriculture and to make it possible for them to thrive and for communities to build?
