Well, provided people get to choose! :)
I think some chains are experimenting with ground meat or patties that incorporates mushrooms π
I canβt really tell the difference between a beef burger π and a veggie burger when all is said and done. I eat burgers for the cheese and the toppings.
Yes and NASA does a lot of Earth science. Improving weather forecasting, wildfire forecasting and monitoring, agricultural research and forecasting etc.
Congratulations to all the Hungarians who turned out in massive numbersβalmost 80% turnoutβto reclaim their democracy. May your example remind the rest of us how itβs done
Map showing % of crop calorie production available as food. Globally itβs about half. In US, Brazil, and Europe itβs well below half. In India and Africa it is a large majority.
Only about 1/4 of the crop calories produced in the US are currently used to feed people directly. If we changed that, US production could feed a lot more people here and elsewhere. drawdown.org/news/only-ha...
Now would be a great time to reconsider that 46% cut to NASAβs science budget for FY2027.

Croplands around the world produced enough calories in 2020 to meet global food needs. Only half were available for human consumption. @gaeacabico.bsky.social reports:
TOMORROW, 1 pm ET! Join me and my colleague @maryhoff.bsky.social as we delve into a new tool to help journalists report on climate solutions related to food and agriculture. ππ»
The images of Earth from Artemis are amazing. But if we destroy our ability to understand (and live on) our planet, all they are is pretty pictures

The biggest problem with the food system is that it is no longer a *food* system.
More than half the calories we grow on croplands aren't food; they're lost in inefficient feedlots or to biofuels.
Project Drawdown scientists highlight this disturbing trend:

BIG, EXCITING NEWS!
Dr. Kate Marvel @drkatemarvel.bsky.social -- world-leading climate scientist and author -- is coming to Project Drawdown after leaving NASA.
She will be a Senior Scientist, leading an exciting new initiative on "Emergency Brake" climate solutions.

Thanks to @indivisibler1c.bsky.social for organizing! The vibes were warm and welcoming.

My daughter made her own song for todayβs #NoKings. This is her third protest.
The Farm Bureau estimates that a year-round increase from E10 to E15 (15% ethanol blend in gasoline) would increase US corn demand by 2.4 billion bushels a year.
Latest yields per USDA are 188.8 bushels/acre, so growing it requires another 12.7 million acres. Thatβs about half the size of Indiana.

The study (which I co-authored) looks at the energy content, (or calories) of 50 crops grown globally, which represent 98% of all calories produced on croplands. It does not include dried hay, crop residues, leaves etc.
Two global maps, side-by-side. The map on the left shows calorie production on croplands in shades of blue (in million calories per hectare). The global map on the right shows the percentage of calories production available as food. In the midwest of the U.S. there is high crop calorie production but a small fraction is available as food. in India and countries in central and southern Africa, much of the calorie production is used for food.
In the U.S., out of every 10 calories grown on croplands, less than 2 of those calories (17%) are grown for food.
The rest? Animal feed and biofuels.
My @projectdrawdown.bsky.social colleagues and I updated country-level crop use stats to 2020 in our latest paper: drawdown.org/news/only-ha...
Indeed, @muellern.bsky.social did some research similar to this in the 2010s: www.researchgate.net/profile/Navi...
