Dutch public television on Trump, Vance, Zelensky and "Have you even said 'thank you'?" Excellent summary of the current geopolitical situation.

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! @vijaythallam, @rajbudithi65, @ap_agriculture , @NOWPartners , @AndhraPradeshCM #SustainableAgriculture #SriLanka #Agroecology #Anantapur #APCNF #FarmingForTheFuture #GreenAgriculture #AgriculturalExchange

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. 🧵 Thread -->

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 🤦🏼‍♂️?

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

Check out the song “United Breaks Guitars” by someone who saw his guitar being chucked just like these golf clubs and it broke… #UnitedAirlines youtube.com/watch?v=5YGc4zOq…

Exactly!

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 @MahiTuna @TEEB4ME @TEEBAgriFood

Hearty congratulations @TimChristo

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. @laurensunfl0wer #StopRosebank #EquinorOut

Big Oil has been lying about its role in climate change for decades, a congressional report says qz.com/big-oil-climate-misin… via @qz

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

100% devastated, 0% surprised. We will see the end of tropical coral reefs in our lifetimes 😔 We have sealed their fate. Now - let’s work a million times harder to protect the biodiversity that may still have a chance of surviving humanity. www-bbc-co-uk.cdn.ampproject…

75% of food consumed in food-insecure regions is grown RIGHT THERE ! The myth that #PL480 type food aid programs can solve anything today is a myth. And the myth that #chemicalfarming or #GMcrops can solve anything is worse than a myth. It is a pernicious lie

The food we eat, from soil to spoil, is laden with hidden costs. But our current method of measuring the success of #FoodSystems neglects to account for their impact on health, environment and climate. Fascinating interview on true cost accounting! bit.ly/3IazAXR
