Small-scale producers—the people who hold the keys to sustainable food systems—are being drowned out by industry lobbyists. The @UNFCCC must act decisively to cut Big Ag’s influence if it hopes to salvage credibility ahead of COP30.

—it fails utterly in both quantity and quality, abandoning small farmers, ecosystems and wildlife to their fate. In these final hours, we need a massive surge in grant-based financing, or we face an irreversible ecological collapse.

Small scale producers - who produce so much of the world's food - can't compete with the might and money of industry lobbyists.

Rachel Sherrington from @desmog speaks about the entrenched influence of agribusiness at COP. Overall numbers released later today. This year 11 pesticide lobbyists alone, down from 18 last year, as COP is smaller, with enormous budgets to influence. #COP29 #ActiononFood #WAP

We need more, not less leadership from the EU. We need more not less protection for our earths forests and the homes of wild animals.

'Pay up, pay up, pay up for climate finance'. Finance flows to small scale producers and for agroecological approaches to agriculture are critical for an equitable, humane and sustainable food system. #COP29Azerbaijan #COP29Baku

Carbon markets cost food sovereignty
Carbon markets cost biodiversity
Carbon markets cost indigenous people their rights.
Carbon markets offer false solutions.
Stop Carbon markets now.

4 of 4 These false solutions and the private finance generated, will move us further away from an equitable, humane and sustainable food system that places animals, people and their communities at its heart”.

3 of 4 It could mean human rights abuses, animal suffering and irreversible environmental damage will continue.
“This permits agribusiness to continue to pollute and they will not be compelled to reduce their emissions.
