I can’t really tell the difference between a beef burger πŸ” 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 numbersβ€”almost 80% turnoutβ€”to reclaim their democracy. May your example remind the rest of us how it’s done

Map showing % of crop calorie production available as food. Globally it’s about half. In US, Brazil, and Europe it’s 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 NASA’s science budget for FY2027.

More Crops Grown for Fuel and Livestock Feed Than for People, New Study Finds Cutting back on beef and biofuels could help improve food security and mitigate climate emissions.

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:

Opinion | NASA Flew by the Moon, but Behind the Scenes, Its Science Is a Chaotic Mess

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:

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. That’s 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.
