The Recipe for a Healthy Climate Starts at the Dinner Table | Anthony Myint | TED
Why aren’t restaurants part of the climate solution? This question inspired chef Anthony Myint to go from opening buzzy pop-ups to pushing for a shift to regenerative farming practices in the food system. He explains how it didn’t go the way he expected at first — and how restaurants are now teaming up with farmers…

I’m not sure if this answers your question, but with regenerative farming, when it comes to grazing animals, the animals aren’t “fed” at all. They eat and drink off the land as nature has intended. Regenerative methods memic nature; that’s how they repair the soil. Look into Alan Savory and the Savory Institute to learn more. Alan Savory did a Ted talk that is essential viewing for understanding the problems with our agricultural practices.

@corwynmatthew6625
September 19, 2024 at 12:29 am
@riverbeee9643 this is a common misconception. The bulk of livestock feed is made up of crop residues, by-products, and other materials that humans can’t consume, rather than crops specifically grown for livestock. They crops are planted for us, and they get the stuff that is leftover. Very little crops are specifically grown to only feed animals. According to the United Nations FAO, 86% of global livestock feed consists of these inedible materials

Excellent initiative. Our food system is broken – farmers live close to bankruptcy while food suppliers & manufacturers earn billions in profits. Farmers may not be in a financial position to transition even if they wanted to. Initiatives like this helps.
If 75 – 80 % of people will live in cities by 2050 cities need to become more food secure via green roofs, rooftop farms, community gardens etc. Also refer urban permaculture & edenicity.

Could you please elaborate on the destruction of the topsoil being the main culprit and not emissions?
@corwynmatthew6625
September 19, 2024 at 12:28 pm
@sushantthecoolboy sure. And thanks for asking. The buildup of emissions is actually a result of the carbon cycle being broken. The way the cycle works is that after emissions enter the atmosphere, they combine to create rain. Things like methane, for example, collide with hydroxyl particles, and the byproduct of the two canceling each other out results in precipitation that eventually forms clouds. The clouds, as we all know, eventually form rain. Rain then falls to the earth and SHOULD be absorbed by the soil to spawn new life. The problem with topsoil that’s dead is that it doesn’t absorb the rainwater. Instead, the water evaporates as soon as the sun comes out and nothing grows in its place. The reason is that living topsoil has little microorganisms and filaments that absorb and hold the water. (These microorganisms are needed to break down minerals to a pico size, which is necessary for them to be able to fit through the plant roots and be absorbed. This is why all our food is now devoid of the proper amount of minerals that should naturally be in it; the food we do eat comes from soil that is dead and only able to grow crops with the help of chemical fertilizer that’s toxic for the ecosystem.) If the topsoil is dead and can’t hold water, the ecosystem becomes dry and barren. This is called desertification. For example: the Egyptian pyramids were not built in a desert. They were built in jungles. They are in deserts now because of monocropping. Monocropping degrades topsoil until it can no longer sustain life (hence the toxic chemical fertilizers). The Sahara desert is another example of this. The poor soil in the Middle East. The Great American Dust Bowl of the Midwest. These are all results of the destruction of topsoil. The more of our planet we turn into desert wastelands, the hotter we get. And we’ve been doing this for 10,000 years (since the advent of agriculture). The amount of emissions we release is irrelevant if the emissions have no way of getting back into the ground where they belong, where they can be a part of the natural carbon cycle. Even if we cut all fosil fuel emissions today, there would still be an agregious amount of emissions from things like crop residue burning (every hectare burned releases the equivalent CO2 to 4,000 cars. There are literally billions of hectares burned every year.) While, on the flipside, if we restore the planet’s ability to properly sequester carbon by cultivating healthy topsoil, that carbon gets put back into the ground where it came from. I’m not suggesting that our emissions aren’t contributing to the problem because they are. I’m suggesting that the solution is not simply cutting them; the solution is to fix the cycle that we have broken so the planet can naturally sequester them as it should. And we do this through regenerative farming. The animals are the ONLY way the topsoil can be sustainably restored. Check out Alan Savory’s Ted talk to learn more. It will likely be the first one that pops up. It’s got millions of views at this point. And if Netflix still has it, look into the documentary Kiss the Ground. 🙂
