There is an aggressor: Russia.
There is a victim: Ukraine.
We were right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago—and to keep doing so.
By “we,” I mean the Americans, the Europeans, the Canadians, the Japanese, and many others.
Thank you to all who have helped and continue to do so. And respect to those who have been fighting since the beginning—because they are fighting for their dignity, their independence, their children, and the security of Europe.

A warm welcome to the 12-member Sri Lankan delegation visiting @APZBNF fields in Anantapur! Over the next 12 days, they’ll explore and learn about our #NaturalFarming methods, with visits to various areas across the state. Looking forward to fruitful exchanges and growing sustainable practices together!

It’s that time of year again—the World Economic Forum in Davos kicks off today. Once again, global elites will gather to discuss everything, except their own tax avoidance and evasion.

Yup. What stops more minds from wondering “hmm… maybe herd-like grazing patterns are … a method”? then they might discover the world of benefits of regenerative / natural farming 🤦🏼♂️?

Before the mid-1800s, it is estimated that the grasslands of North America were home to 30-60 million bison, 10 million elk, 40 million white-tailed deer, 10 million mule deer, and a combined total of 100 million caribou and pronghorn. In comparison, the productivity of modern farming methods in the American prairies is a joke.

Tigers are back in Kazakhstan after 70 years!
Thanks to #NaturesHeroes in Ile-Balkhash, two Amur tigers, Bodhana & Kuma, are now in the region.
Communities are rewilding ecosystems, restoring species and organising eco-tourism to support their reintroduction. @wwfnederland

Even in the darkest days, I’ve seen hope power change.
There are no guarantees for what’s ahead in 2025.
But I pledge to stand with all those who are working to forge a more peaceful, equal, stable and healthy future for all people.

And these companies are responsible for a large share of the environmental, social and human externalities (= hidden but real costs) of the world‘s food systems. Their cheap food is pretty expensive for society @TMG_think @PavanSukhdev @katmerrigan @001harpinder @futureoffoodorg

These 11 companies control 70% of the processed food that we eat. When we choose to consume their products we are letting them determine our health and longevity. Do we trust them to decide our health over their profits?

@alexander_tmg @TMG_think @G_stordalen @katmerrigan @annalappe @futureoffoodorg Our Food System is good for only ONE thing: Profits of Agro-Chemical MNCs. On ALL other counts (yields, small farm profits, on-farm & off-farm health, nutrition, climate, water, biodiversity) it is TERRIBLE. So decide: what do you WANT from Food Systems?

We are treating nature like a bank account where we are constantly withdrawing g money without ever pay in it. And then we wonder that we are bankrupt … @TMG_think @PavanSukhdev @G_stordalen @katmerrigan @annalappe @futureoffoodorg

Night thoughts 69% of the world's fresh water is currently used in agriculture. Industry accounts for 19%, while only 12% is used by households and communities. Today's industrial agriculture is also destroying biodiversity. We need to rethink.💚☘️🌿🌱🌲🌳🍀💚

NEW: Delta Airlines caught chucking a college golf team’s clubs at the San Diego airport before the NCAA Championships. The airline industry is becoming one of the most hated industries in America. The East Tennessee State University men’s golf team filmed Delta employees launching their gear on the tarmac. “Nice of Delta to handle our clubs with such care…” the team said on X. The team was traveling to the NCAA Championships in Carlsbad, California when the incident happened. Video: @ETSU_MGolf

Many thanks @ASteiner for your beautiful message on #BiodiversityDay
This morning, these were indeed our thoughts and aspirations expressed this morning at the All Hands Call of @GistImpact

As 🌎 marks #BiodiversityDay on 22 May, we are severely underestimating the value of nature & the gravity of its loss. All can be #PartofThePlan by integrating the true value of nature into everything: from how we grow our food to the way we generate capital & waste.

Climate damages are "6X LARGER than previously thought", says new NBER working paper
– every 1C wipes out 12% of global GDP
– every tonne of CO2 causes >$1,000 of damages
@GernotWagner tells me: "Assuming nobody finds a flaw in this paper, it is going to truly change things"

BREAKING: @equinor CEO confronted over aggressive oil & gas expansion across the world.
Last year, they made £29 billion in profits. They roll in their cash, while the rest of the world burns.
This is inconceivable greed.

A really instructive investigation: shows that today’s “per hectare productivity” lens for evaluating food systems is utterly misleading.
Time to replicate, scale, & take this healthy food to more and more citizens- they deserve better! @RujutaDiwekar @satyatripathi @ASteiner

@wideawake_media Which cows?? Those on his private land holdings, or the 600,000,000+ ranging and foraging across the length and breadth of India, for example ??
