I’m not hearing what needs to be said here. All I’m hearing are buzzwords. The reason food rots on the field isn’t because there’s no infrastructure. Its because nobody bought them. A trucker isn’t going to buy potatoes off a farmer to then give them away to a food bank. Nor is a farmer going to donate his crop when doing so could cost them their farm. Talking new tech ignores the fact that in times of crisis government should be organizing purchase and transport of food, and they didn’t. They didn’t even think of it. And that’s the problem.
The only solution to food security in a post climate change world is to decentralize it. Every home should be designed with food production in mind. It won’t completely solve distribution but it provides individual households a buffer, so that distribution from larger farms can catch up. It also reduces the amount of land needed to feed everyone significantly since a sizable portion of production is moved into urban and suburban landscapes. Allowing nature and reforestation efforts to take over. At the end of the day climate change can’t be solved with capitalism or innovation. It needs to be solved by decentralization and self sufficiency.

The elephant in the room is capitalism, which cannot possibly become sustainable, since it has to grow or perish.Capitalism is a cancer, a malignant tumour oft he economy. It is a heat engine driven by fossil carbon, and there is no alternative with a similar EROEI and robustness, so we have never developed any real alternatives to the Diesel engine for rural areas, for tractors, for trucks, for generators.
Without fossil fuels—and we will eventually run out if we don’t stop using them–we don’t know how to produce and distribute food on an industrial scale. We may need other types of heat engines that can run on a wide variety of fuels, not necessarily internal combustion engines but maybe also external ones, like steam turbines or Stirling engines.
The future will be rough, we will need technology which is robust and versatile, and which is as modular as possible so that it can easily be taken apart and reassembled into something different. We will need farm machines that can run on anything, and which every small village can produce on its own in a tiny factory. We will have to deal with infrastructure breakdown due to decades of neglect and corruption and climate change, of course.

Again the only reason that there is not enough food is because of greed not supply not demand. When the elites stop treating the people of this world as pawns and start treating them like family then will the spirit change. All the money in the world all the taxes can not change the climate and neither is man. It’s time to stop worrying about CONTROL and actually start making the world a better place.

Replace cows and sheep for chicken and we can replant half the amount of land being wasted on them .
Order the veggie burger or chicken and don’t eat beef if you are against land clearing .
I worked on a chicken farm that was on about 4 acres of land and that included the owners house .
30.000 birds every 8 to 10 weeks , one bird will feed four people , 120.000 meals EVERY eight weeks.
Over a year about 600.000 meals.
The same area used for cattle , you might get 4 cows if you remove his house .
One cow minimum , two /three years to grow fat enough to make 800 meals x 4 cows 3200 meals from the same property.

The beginning of the video mentioned the San Antonio Food Bank so I wanted to share some information about why that photo of all the cars is troubling, The SA Food Bank is absolutely massive. In addition to the enormous warehouse for food storage, they have a 40 acre farm on site for vegetables, fruit, and dairy where I’ve volunteered. They also provided meals to students in the after-school program I worked for at another nonprofit and created a food pantry on my college campus. Basically, if you live in or around San Antonio you’ll see how much impact this one organization has over a city of 1.5 million people PLUS the surrounding areas. So why is it troubling to see so many cars and know there’s still not enough food to go around? Well, other orgs from around the country sent their staff to SA Foodbank to learn from their procedures but if our food bank is one of the best in the country and still doesn’t have enough food to go around (especially when there are smaller orgs helping out too) then we have a real problem. We’re seeing tens of thousands of people depend on SA Foodbank alone but if they can’t even provide food to everyone then it speaks volumes about our society and the lack of government and corporate efforts to end hunger. TLDR; If we rely solely on nonprofits to fix hunger then we’re never going to have enough for every family that needs it. Government and corporations need to be held accountable for food insecurity, too.

Climate change is a natural curing event that has happened for thousands of years. The real problem facing the Earth is pollution in different forms many of those can come through solids, liquids and gases but there is an invisible pollution that you cannot see through technology (radiation) and genetic engineering that is much more dangerous and longer lasting than any other concern.

Cap relative to 2019 levels fossil emitting activities, leases and permits below 90% in 2021, 80% in 2022, 70% in 2023 steadily down to 0% by 2030.
Collapse of food systems can only be avoided if we avoid chain reaction, tipping point, runaway to Hothouse. Even then, it will be hard. We’ve already lost 25% of the forestry due to mature in the 2040s; fisheries and farms can fare no better.

The world’s problem is not a lack of food, the problem is the division of food, while in some countries food is wasted by millions of tons, in other children they die of malnutrition.
as well as water, as well as oil, as well as energy, as well as employment, as well as income.
The problem in today’s world is the lack of empathy with those at the bottom of the social pyramid. Just as the richest are getting richer every day, the poor are getting hungry, thirsty, more vulnerable.
I do not defend a socialist system, but the capitalist is indefensible. and praneta terra depends on the human being finding a model that remains within the parameters established by nature.
there is no way for a capitalist model to grow infinitely as it is occurring.
Problems affect society and the planet, if we have a big problem with the environment, it is our economic model, if we have a problem with our social it is because of our economic model.
If there is no remodeling of the current capitalist models, we will not have to worry about the lack of food or the current agroeconomic model, there will be countless problems, some we can imagine as war, population displacement, floods, diseases, but there are those that we do not even think about. to happen…
Just to give you an idea, Brazil today sells practically all of their soybeans to China, and believe me if you want, to give to the pigs, for meat production.
do you know why? why china cannot afford to spend on so much water. 50.5 million tons every six months. this gives about 100,000,000,000,000 liters of water per semester that goes only to china in water used for soybeans. Now imagine when things start to go missing?

science has discovered that: the heating and cooling of the earth is cyclical, it follows the cyclical process of the sun, the atomic explosions on the sun, and excess solar energy will overheat the earth and when the sun enters a process of calm, the minimum radiation will create a glacial climate on earth. This behavior has been repeated for thousands of years, and will continue to repeat itself, this means that it is cyclical, it does not depend on the action of man, emission of carbon, carbon oxide, cows, etc. the action of this component is insignificant. So please stop telling lies.

“I’m a failed vegan” hm you do realize that veganism is not a diet but rather a philosophy of not harming animals. So you failed in not harming animals needlessly.. why? for your convenience? for your taste pleasure? these things are more important than the life of a sentient being who wishes to live. Who suffers, and feels pain just like us, living a life of confinement and torture. You may want to change the wording because it’s basically like if i would say “I’m a failed wife beater or failed racists or failed sexist etc.

If people could learn how to intergrate nature into their infrastructures like more trees, green walls, roofs and grow their own foods as much as possible (like we did for many MANY generations) then there was no such thing as ”climate change” People should be more involved again into the food they eat, whenever modern technology or not .
