“Sustainable agriculture and food systems are critical components in both dealing with climate change and building food systems fit for the future.”

Majid Al Suwaidi, COP28 Director-General, emphasizes how COP28 signals a turning point for how we treat food, agriculture and water in climate action.

[Edward Davey @edwardleodavey]

The response to the Global Stocktake is the most important outcome from COP28. The COP began with a resounding affirmation at leaders' level of the role of food in tackling climate change. It needs to close with an equally compelling signal in the GST of this fact.

@paulnewnham @John_LFK @matthewhayek @voxdotcom Animal protein contains all 20 amino acids. Beans and other plant foods also contain all 20 amino acids, they just have relatively lower amounts of some of them. Plant-based foods can meet the required protein in healthy adults if eaten as part of a varied, healthful diet
