Maybe this is a good time to plug our **local organic/near organic
and regenerative small farmers**. These are the people who will feed
us, protect and improve the land and enhance biodiversity. They
should be celebrated, supported and valued. IMHO, they are our best
hope for birds, insects, food and a better way of life. The more we
make the connections and act on them, the better chance we, and our
fellow creatures, have for enduring the polycrisis.

It was mentioned to me by Jane Graves that so much land in Brazil,
and here, is devoted to growing soybeans. Again only about 6% of this
is for human consumption. The rest is animal feed with some going to
oil and biofuel.

This article is very important. As always, good scientific
information allows us to perhaps ameliorate a situation with better
choices. Just a reminder when they are talking about cropland, it is
not fields of broccoli that are the problem. Animal feed is
responsible for a huge percentage of land use, about 75-80%.
