What if we’ve been wrong about what saved the most lives in human history?

Most people think it was medicine.
It wasn’t.

The real hero was something far more humble -
and it still shapes our future today.

Here is story of food, science, and hope 🧵👇1/

This might be the most under-reported win of the century:

🌍 Humanity has passed “peak farmland.”
We now produce more food using less land.

Let’s break down what that means - and what comes next. 🧵👇1/

@maxfawcett @DeanPlunkettTHW A quick scan of the web shows ON farm gross receipts of $18.5B on 11.7M acres (2020). $1570/ac or $7.9M on 500 acres. 1.9% impact. Not sure how to fact check the $150K carbon tax number's accuracy and allow for the other credits.

Today, Canadians across the country show their gratitude to those who’ve bravely served our country.

Their duty was to protect us.

Our duty is to make sure we never forget.

97 years young and Grandpa Roy still lives and breathes farming. He couldn’t miss the first day of #harvest22. He was 22 when he grew his first crop. 75 years in a row on the combine!

For millennia, humans have used more and more land for agriculture, taking over wild habitats.

But, we are at a unique point in history: agricultural land use has peaked.

Happy Canada's Agriculture Day 2022.
Today, I’m celebrating Canada’s Agriculture Day. Food makes us joyful. Let’s send our collective love to farmers, growers, agriculture workers, and all other people who play their roles to produce this joy! #CdnAgDay

Just wait until #agriculture starts doing this in real time.
