🛠️ Fix the agri-food system or miss #ClimateTargets, warns scientists

The latest @esabcc.bsky.social report calls for a “systemic transition” to:

🌱 climate-proof our food and farming system

😷 protect public #health and our environment

🐄 and reduce our reliance on feed and #fertiliser imports

What if the ocean stops absorbing #carbon?

PML's Prof Helen Findlay contributed to a new report from IOC UNESCO warning a “major blind spot” in ocean carbon research, that could undermine global climate predictions & risk implications for #ClimateTargets & adaptation: pml.ac.uk/news/major-b...

European protein diversification: Growing opportunities for farmers - IEEP AISBL Europe’s agricultural sector is facing unprecedented challenges, from global food crises to the pressure of transitioning towards a more sustainable and healthy food system. This report explores how European farmers, along with the wider food industry, scientists, and policymakers, can turn these challenges into new opportunities by diversifying protein sources within the European food system.

🌱 Protein diversification can address key EU priorities, such as #ClimateTargets, environmental concerns, planetary resources, health, and #AnimalWelfare. However, their socio-economic impacts on farmers remain largely under-investigated.

Canada not on track to hit any climate targets: report A new study published Friday by the Canadian Climate Institute says Canada is not on track to meet any of its climate targets.

'Canada is not on track to meet any of its #climatetargets — not the 2026 interim emissions reduction target, the 2030 Paris Agreement commitment, or even the long-term goal of reaching net-zero #emissions by 2050.'
