The dairy industry is in trouble. So the latest ploy is to make manure more valuable, capturing inefficient manure methane to con taxpayers thinking this offsets burps It's a last ditch effort that's working since animal agriculture has the biggest lobby of any industry www.vox.com/future-perfe...

https://buff.ly/4ggR6Jj The Dutch don't play around when it comes to growing vegetables 🤩 No wonder they're second biggest exporter worldwide. To boost UK food security, it's essential for us to improve our pitiful vegetable production. We need to copy the Dutch & invest in high tech greenhouses.

Why are so many health influencers obsessed with seed oils? 🌻 It’s because they lack the skills and knowledge on how to interpret data in scientific studies. This leads to the rampant spread of #misinformation. www.foodfacts.org/articles/are...

Food waste is a growing problem, and confusion over best-before dates isn't helping. With both food production and #foodwaste expected to increase in the coming years, standardizing labels could make a difference. What are your thoughts on best-before dates? 🥦

🫠 Social media influencers often claim their information is 'backed by science' ⚛️ or cite 'studies.' It's crucial to evaluate these claims and not assume honesty. Usually, it's best to be skeptical and verify their sources. read www.foodfacts.org/articles/spo...

Nobody ever planted a tree in this photo. It was a working gravel pit 30 years ago. We need to get over our obsession with planting trees and let nature do the job. The results are just SO much better. It's also about realising we are not, in fact, central to everything. 🌍

Most communication methods require identification, like phone contracts. Should social networks require government-issued ID? Australia has banned social media for under 16s, and the UK is considering a similar move. However, since many users lie about their age, would this truly make a difference?

Gen. AI is an incredible innovation—one I deeply admire—but there’s no denying the injustice built into its current structure. The reality is this: AI owes its existence and creative ability to the countless artists, writers, and creators who unknowingly provided the training data it depends on.
