An assessment of almost 940 kinds of Brazilian cat and dog food has found that producing wet food creates 690 per cent more greenhouse gas emissions than making dry foodDespite a study claiming that food-mile emissions are higher than previously thought, eating less animal produce remains much more important than how
far your food travelsFood campaigners hope to persuade countries to join a sustainable farming alliance that could launch at the COP27 climate summit in EgyptA major policy paper fails to address big health and environmental issues it was supposed to tackle, such as how to enable the diet changes needed to reach net zero
I couldn’t agree more.👍🏼
Dont plants & trees already convert CO2?
Wes Jackson has some ideas about this.
box farming needs to become a thing....
Soylent Green, been waiting years for this!!
Farming is feeding the planet. Good farming is preserving and improving the soil. Pasture sinks massive CO2 Follow the science not the IPCC
Imagine a would with no fruit trees ☹ no fresh carrots for the little bunnies to eat, or are you going to kill them too 😒 🥕🐇
Why do you hate vegetation
Oh you mean we are finally getting CHON Food? Has no one at New Scientist read the Heechee Saga by Frederick Pohl.
And unicorn farts don't forget them
More over population than farming
The key question is whether consumer adoption will be fast enough to make a difference. Using Solein as animal feed in parallel could significantly lessen the environmental impact of meat, dairy and eggs but might mess up the intended narrative.
Keep the real food for me. And synthesized food for those who don't have enough to eat.
LOL
Lol wut 😂 what about growing our own food?
Er, new scientist, I think someone has fallen asleep on your ‘resend’ button.
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh
Factory farming and over farming are, not regular ordinary everyday farms that work with their environments and animals. There's enough for everyone's needs, not everyone's greed
I got to disagree with you farming isn't devastating the planet corporate farming may be devastating the planet but a family farm impossible
If they would quit running off the family farms and replacing them with commercial outfits, you would get a much better diversity of products that are less toxic. You reap what you sow.
No human overpopulation is what is devastating the planet. Get to the root of the issue NS.
You know what is also devastating for the planet? Making the electronic device you used to send this self-righteous tweet, and yet here you are...
It herbicides and pesticides, not the actual farming. Use organics that are natural to the Earth and problem solved, so in other words stop inventing stuff harmful to people,wildlife and the planet. I.e. Monsanto
Carbon is NOT the enemy....more CO2 means more plants, trees, vegetation & forests. Blaming CO2, cars, carbon and humans is a GIANT PROVABLE HOAX. Go away...
Quack Science, what you push, is actually killing planet & people. Weather changes are cyclical & driven by Sun cycles, magnetic fields stretching millions of light years across space, galactic ELECTRICAL CHARGED PARTICLES & Earth's weakened magnetic shield due to pole shifting.
A agricultura não devasta o planeta, mas sim as formas de como são utilizados os meios de produção, aqui era um jardim deixado para nós, como poderia ser algo ruim?
Uhhhhh… the earth regenerates NATURALLY with plants & wildlife meaning it is meant for farming. It’s humans needing to control everything that harms farming.
So what would farmers do for living? Farming is a human activity, a solid base of our economy and an enormous element of development for underdeveloped countries. What is your proposal? Algae. No thanks.
JFC, is this really a science publication?
Garbage lies...
Solein has been a thing for years however, entitled humans love kil'n thangs. It's they murican rahht!
FakeNews Humans are devastating the planet. There, I fixed that for you.
Solein has been a thing for years however, rednecks love killn thangs, it's they murican rahhhts!!
So, the very thing we expel as a waste product from our lungs we will start ingesting? Seems like a great idea. 🤔🤨🙄🙄
Plants have been doing it for billions of years
Farming is part of human culture and human independence. Trust media like you not to account for that. SO UNSCIENTIFIC!
Never ceases to amaze...
this song by Eminem says,” the fucking Antichrist is back Danny it’s satan,” I’m Danny who witnessed his return. It also says,”17 strands of hair found in the back of the van,” Im marked by the 1 on my left hand and the 7 on my right. Book on Kindle.
Animals, plants, fruits are food not carbon dioxide. No wonder humans are getting more fragile and weaker.
LesleyW83753688 Farming doesn't devastate the Earth. Industrial agriculture that uses fossil fuels for pesticides and fertilizers devastates the Earth.
Bullshit
The Replicator is coming haha
🤔
DrMichaelMosley Really? Wow
This is bull shit fake ass shinny jeans man bun guys
No. Absolute idiocy. Farming is not the problem but 'modern methods' of farming. Bacteria are not the answer. Interouts1
What is this WEF narrative that farming is bad for the planet? Humanity has been farming since the bible, the science behind farming hasnt changed, only the industrialization of it. Quit disguising your climate change one-narrative-fits-all propoganda.
Farming shouldn't be a problem. But it is only because of the modern way of farming. It takes destroying to create,but a suitable old model involved working with nature, nurturing nature to provide a healthy, reliable,and eco-friendly food.
Most vegetarians consuming vegetables, fruits, grains, etc are eating carbon dioxide or carbon only!! How much more carbon dioxide can they eat?
just turn it into fertilizer instead
Very clean green foods with no negative health effects shit
What a total load of rubbish. They already have a way of producing food from the sun and CO2. Its called FARMING. And unlike your suggestion, it cant be controlled by a few elites to destroy the planet.
Solvent green?
man can not devastate the planet. Thinking we can is not scientific.
how many times can you guys post the same story? I got the answer: tho I counted 9, the limit does not exist, does it? you REALLY need some new materials... or better employees than posting the same thing over again. insights
Sounds terrible to me, missing out on all the nutrients (and elements) that would be hard or impossible to synthesize. But maybe this will just provide some additional calories supply. The other part of nutrition rich on vitamins, maybe even organic whole food? Future harvest?
Farming is the heart of business, the last hope, the jewel of knowledge and the energy of scientists !
Isn’t that called photosynthesis?
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Ummmm what?!
Farming is NOT devastating our planet.
howbow no? y'all sayin 'farming' generalising the whole thing which affects small farmers in ways you haven't thought of. Howbow sayin INDUSTRIAL LEVEL FARMING....? there you go wasn't that challenging was it?
Scientists gone bonkers
People are devastating the planet. Not farming. Farming has been around for millennia.
So like plants and cattle.
So like plants and cattle.
Farming is our tradition! Everyone deserves control over their own food. Blame the current situation on elite greed. Do better in your research and attitude.
🤡
Should really have led with a boomer trigger warning
No!
Lab grown Bacteria 😋
No thanks
Farming devastated the planet? Bull $hit.
GeorgeMonbiot
An atom of Carbon and two atoms of Oxygen. Hmm, not bad. Well, that would require Carbon Absorption from the atmosphere, a tech for which Elon Musk was ready to pay a $100 Mil.. has it been made ? Why didn't Elon Musk buy it ? Before food it can solve the problem of energy.
What?!!? Crazy I am going to plant more crops asap!!! Kookie
👀
Local farmers are not, it's the ones supplying vegan food from far far away to some supermarket
Clearly your science is as factual as the COVIDIAN SCIENTISTS.... all alot of BS!!!
If that floats your boat, fine. Just don't chastise us for not following your example.
Small scale farming is actually helping the planet by using regenerative farming techniques. It’s globalisation farming that destroyed farming.
Klaus dat u?
Ridiculous.
Mass meat production and ethanol production are destructive- the rest not so much.
Oh come on. Now we can’t even eat real food 😖🥺
Another WEF agenda. Guess plants don’t convert carbon dioxide into oxygen anymore?
No thanks. GFYS.
So will stavation you deadbrains.
Oh do get bent. Honestly. Piss off. All the way. Go. Don’t stop.
Does the New Scientist follow the science, or the WEF?
Eat the bugs
ffclaimit
Sponsored by the WEF?
🤡
You guys have your priorities completely lopsided
Not that we shouldn't pursue food innovation, but we could also arrest overpopulation.
It’s not farming that is destroying the planet, but industrial farming practices. Such as those promotes by this ridiculous industry-promoting junk food article, devoid of most nutrition. Just eat real food grown in regenerative farms, which sustains and replenishes the land.
Already a bit behind schedule? Lol hahahhahahahahahah sounds like one is grasping for air and trying to grab something that is not there and will not eventuate.
The pre-industrial level of CO2 was bordering on plant starvation. Today's level has been greening the planet, as satellites have confirmed.
Nope
Growing plants is not destroying the planet.
This is insanity
Supporting small farmers could also be a good option for making farming work more sustainable Alternatively, we can promote food sovereignty to some extent, which is based on organic farming and the avoidance of chemicals.
By food, you mean rib steaks with a slight flavor of desert mesquite? Nah, didn't think so. Dem dictionary. :(
You vill eat ze bugs
less industry more permaculture
Food factories. A long time feature in science fiction, used to feed overpopulated areas, or worlds. Also popular as a way to feed crews of warships in space, enabling recycling of everything that the air and water scrubbers recover. Does require supplementary minerals.
'Farming is devastating the planet.' False Statement! But not opposed to new ways of doing things. You can also create renewable oil & gas the same way, and this will be our long term future, as the requirement for 7000 products made from Fossil Fuels will be with us forever.
You shouldn’t put industrial food production & farming in the same box
I signed up for science not fiction. 1. Their is no man made climate change. 2. It is a delusional myth man could change something as complex as the global weather system. 3. All this has happened before every 12,000 years or so. This is just about control.
Soilent Green, anyone?
Holy shit what an unscientific take. Farming literally generates oxygen from carbon dioxide through photosynthesis from the sun (an abundant renewable energy) and produces food. I know you need clicks but I’m not giving any.
nonsense that farming is devastating the planet. this is not 'new science', but no science at all......
Please report on real science instead of cheerleading what Pasi says is becoming reality.
Must be a parody piece. So hilarious.
More crap
Industrial agriculture is the problem.
😐
Photosynthesis-y
You mean clear cutting the Forests is devastating the Planet. Cobalt mines , lithium mines, etc, are destroying the Planet
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Hello everyone mmmmmmm interesting here's yet more propaganda being used to demonize farmers to push the agenda of the nwo cabal.☹️
I remember when you published actual science, how times have changed. Without farming we will die, why the hell would anyone want to eat processed factory rubbish?
Let people choose.
And bang goes the laws of thermodynamics…we get more out than we put in 🤦🏼♂️
Shame on you!
and how electricity and 'air' will be supplied ? bullshit. farming is not devastating planet, its industrialization of every aspect of life.
Pure BS
Agent Orange.
Carbon dioxide is & has always been turned into food & humans have nothing to do with it... kinda like our Star & its phases & 'climate change' & the earths natural emmissions
Can we just officially call it a religious belief going forward?
No, again just no...
What about Pine Plantations - can u eat wood What about Mining - cant eat that either What about the Rockets, WMD, Tankers etc etc - cant eat that too. NS you've lost me 🤨☹😑
Farming is NOT devastating the plant, greed and large corporations are doing that just to make excessive profits 🤬🤬🤬
Turn carbon dioxide into food means photosynthesis!!
Oh. Is this the next step? How long before you put us in concentration camps? To cleanse the earth of global warming? Asking for a friend
'Solein' sounds like 'Soylent Green' and is obviously 'green washed' industrial fodder
They sure are trying very hard to think of things we would like to eat. I just wish they'd ask us first!
more fraud money laundering of green £ chasing nothing getting cleaned up as power co's heavy ind keep going just buy a woods and hey presto we're clean NO YOUR F&!?;:G NOT stop lying to folk 😤
Bullshit.
First step to Soylant Green
POPPYCOCK! you can grow TONS of food with solar powered hydroponic farms
Rationed by corn
Don't eat the bugs, eat ur farts Kidding, this is kinda cool actually
Hilarious and horrible
You will eat ze bugs
Fly the fk out of here!! Nonsense shite
God I wish you guys would stop trying to scare the population into believing your ridiculous claim that farming is destroying the planet. The climate never is constant. In 4.3 billion years it's fluctuated and humans weren't even there. So sick of 'scare science'
What do you think agriculture is? Farming technology! Dirt ( Earth resources) helps make factories.
And people didn’t like GMO, do you think they’re going to accept this stuff
No thank you Sam-I-am: I do not like engineered eggs or ham. I will not eat them in a box; will not eat them with a fox. I will not change my God-given genes for some elite's misdirected, dystopian dreams.
Unfollow. Hogwash.
Correction, Industrial Farming is devastating the planet. Regenerative farming fixes it. Will Harris converted his Industrial farm into a Regenerative one, and the ecosystem is thriving.
Sounds delicious 😋
I stopped reading new scientist years ago. Try Scientific American it’s much better.
Are you saying food crops produces Carbon dioxide only? and non-food plants produce oxygen I thought a plant is a plant... oxygen at day time and carbon dioxide at night..
Farmers are to be respected as hard workers who feed the planet's population indiscriminately. They risk their livelihoods and work hard to cultivate natural crops. Without farmers, most of us would starve. And any nation that does not support/respect their farmers will fall.
'Farming is devastating the planet.' What a load of BS.
😂😂😂😂
I would like to continue breathing.
Sounds like one of those crowd funding scams
What could go wrong? Oh! How about sucking the nutrient plants need to grow out of the atmosphere. This is a worse decision than diverting corn to fuel.
🙂👥👥 👥🌐 👥 .
Change the name to junkscience
After you
Every time we try to 'fix' the damage we're doing to our ecosystem with new 'tech' we end up creating more problems down the line. Nature has already DONE everything we're trying to do without it. We need to *UNdo* the damage, not try & 'fix' it with more gadgetry.
New Scientist? More like New Politics.
With a straight face, huh?
Isn't that what plants do?
New Scientist really, a need to suggest you know more now? Farming is feeding the planet and has evolved over the millennia to become more environmentally friendly.
'Farming is devastaing the planet' so of course the planet needs more factories, to replace those farms. Factory food. Yuck.
That is absolutely ridiculous!While it may be true that certain farming practices are causing environmental damage, there are also many ways to produce food without doing so that are sustainable,
It's is the agriculture chemicals and fertilizers along with machines and big corporations are killing planet. Sustainable agriculture and small farmers are still better than lab grown foods. Small farmers will ensure biodiversity in the long run not Lab grown foods.
metrikk Soylent green is made of people!
Electricity is not green technology
NS employees...when you say things like this it leads your fellow leftists to go out and bomb things and murder human beings. Disgusting
Animal farming is devastating the planet, also planting evergreens to salve the conscious of people with private jets is rediculous as good farm land is being wasted! Ban the lot!
This magazine is nothing more than a rag for wef propaganda.
You think we are idiotic. IF farming devastate the planet THEN Nature devastate the planet for you.
First it was cows, now it's farming. What will be next?
Go away. Nothing is better than fresh homegrown veggies
That reminds me to find Soylent Green to watch again.
Laughable.
Interesting . I saw a menu for a G20 meeting some time ago when GMOs were being pushed as the way of the future.. nothing on the menu was GMO it was all mentioned as Organic or Certified Organic.. that says a lot about who are pushing this shit .
This is malarkey. Why is New Scientist promoting this? Paid advertising masquerading as an article? What?
You spelled feeding wrong.
The great reset. eat bugs, proto-petroleum and die. Great new future.
And our political masters will never want for Prime Rib or Maine lobster while we eat formed and shaped bacteria, and like it. Coming to the intersection of Fool Around and Find Out.
Lol
'...using renewable energy to turn carbon dioxide into food.' I thought that is what farmers facilitate.
You mean FACTORY farming. Which supplies filthy and polluted CITIES. Clean up those 2 things and do not stick your noses into rural folks lives and how we live. We and our farms are NOT the problem, yours are and the cities they supply.
Hmm. 8 billion living on fresh air? Pull the other one.
Our glorious future
How would that help me.get the ribeye steak I'm eating tonight?
Correction - HUMANS are devastating the planet and there are a lot of them we could do without.. people like Justin Trudeau, Charles Schwab and the lot are just taking up space
Farming is how we became civilised.
Please explain exactly why farming is destroying the planet? With 8billion and rising how are we going to feed populations? Is there Star Trek replicator tech in the wings waiting to be rolled out?
Small farmers are custodians of biodiversity. It's big corporations and industrialization of agriculture- chemicals, fertilizers and machinery that's killing planet again western greed, capitalism and profiteering. Bill gates is the biggest farmer of NA.
Arghhhhhhhhhhh
Energy efficiency is the real problem.
Absolute nonsense
Trooool! ¬ Isn't that what plants do ?
We are already turning carbon dioxide into food. It's called farming. You know... Plants do photosynthesis 😂 Fun Fact: many greenhouses use CO2 generators. We have a real problem and it's called plastic. It's making men sterile and the 'solution' isn't pretty.
What’s next Soylent Green
There is nothing worse than food!!! We can eat CO2 and ozone!
Only because HUMANS are devastating the planet. See: cut the tubes.
Mmmmmm....tell me it's tasty like a BBQ hamburger or filet mignon.
🧐
I agree. The solution is more HUNTING. Plus i don’t waste any part of the animals I kill. I eat the good stuff, tan the hide, and use the innards to feed the dogs and snapping turtle. Farming is lame hunting
B0ll0x. Take your lies & be damned.
Always put the traditional farmer first. I have nothing but respect for farmers. Their lives are hard because they work with actual reality. The work is hard. They feed us indiscriminately without regard to politics. And they deserve nothing from us but our support.
Omg the new vegan holy grail, now they gonna be even more obnoxious
WTF do these people come from.
'Farming is devastating the planet' what a silly headline without the words 'intensive' or 'factory' worked upfront.
Oh, yeah! We have been farming for many years wrong! (Sarcastic)
dude ok um yeah i dont know where to start. i like the idea but your pr team should be fired.. ya know plants turn co2 into food as well. use some yeast to make thc or something fun. i dont want to live off soylent green in the future or bugs or bacteria or lab grown meat3
WTF? Man made global warming proven a hoax so NOW they are going to farming...our FOOD source? Unfunded scientists now MUST CREATE another hoax?
Oh
Refine the farming methods producing our natural food and not the food itself
lol
Hydrocarbons ... Rule !
Intensive farming is. Not all farming.
I cannot believe we are reading this at the New Scientist. You’ve joined a cult.
Mankind created this problem with mass production large farming industry. Need self sustainable small farms.
CAPITALIST farming is devastating the planet.
Wait until we can use renewable energy to turn co2 into livestock feed on site, that’ll be the big win 😀
Fkuy You
This 👍
