Grasslands—including shrublands & savannas—cover ~40% of Earth, supporting 1B people & storing vital carbon. Yet, only 10% are protected.
The #GlobalPastureWatch consortium is creating groundbreaking data to monitor & protect these critical ecosystems. bit.ly/gpw2024

Cropland is expanding, but less than half of this land directly feeds us: only 37% of the harvested area of major crops is used for foods that are produced and consumed domestically. The rest goes to exports, processing, industry, or other uses. bit.ly/3Wz3qKF

Great new position available at the World Resources Institute to manage a new initiative on reducing global methane from agriculture. (Thanks for retweets to get the word out.) WRI has lots of exciting partners to work with and a growing food program.

In the last 30 min they've talked about decarbonizing agriculture, the ecology of wildfires in California, invasive Asian carp (@KateBrauman says eat them), half earth, and ocean acidification! This conversation is really interesting and the panelists are doing an amazing job! 👏
