From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Paul Homewood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

h\/t Paul Kolk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To think, the Telegraph used to be a well respected, serious newspaper:<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As 2023 draws to a close, with the world hotter than ever and on track to <\/em>exceed 1.5 degrees warming<\/em><\/a>, world leaders are increasingly concerned and strive ever harder to agree on ambitious climate action.  They have focused on an increasingly pressing issue: food. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interactions between food and climate had surfaced around the UN\u2019s Food Systems Summit in 2021, where it became clear that climate change threatens agricultural productivity, disrupts food supply chains, reduces resilience, erodes the livelihoods of millions of farmers and food workers, and threatens food and nutrition security (especially for women and children). The impact of these interactions on people has been exacerbated by the impacts of Covid-19, increased levels of conflict, and increases in the cost-of-living.  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Cop28 annual climate meeting, in Dubai, the governments of 154 countries endorsed the groundbreaking Cop28 UAE Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems, and Climate Action.  They committed to address both food system vulnerabilities to climate change and the impacts of food systems on climate and nature. This is an important first, and a sign of the concerns being felt everywhere.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Europe the concerns are felt in higher food prices, and strained household budgets as a result of income poverty (which threatens <\/em>more than 20 per cent of the population<\/em><\/a>). In Sub-Saharan Africa, smallholder farmers whose communities depend on agriculture are bearing the brunt of record high temperatures and extreme weather events. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, modern food systems drive 90 per cent of deforestation and 60 per cent of biodiversity loss, and account for 70 per cent of the world\u2019s use of fresh water. They are also reliant on fossil fuels which are used for production of pesticides; synthetic fertilisers and plastics; and in processing, transport, distribution and cooking.  Overall, food systems <\/em>contribute over one third of global greenhouse gas emissions<\/em><\/a>.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of the article is just a continuation of the same drivel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It probably won\u2019t come as any surprise to learn that the article is sponsored by Bill Gates\u2019 Global Health Security<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite climate breakdown, food production around the world continues to set record highs year after year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even in sub-Saharan Africa, where they claim that\u00a0smallholder farmers are bearing the brunt of record high temperatures and extreme weather events,\u00a0<\/em>the value of agricultural output (at fixed prices) stood at a record high in 2021:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
