On #WorldFoodDay2023 let us remember the connection between oil & climate change . 50% emissions come from a fossil fuel & fossil agriculture based industrial food system which is also desertifying the soil. The solution lies in regenerating the earth , her biodiversity & soil
"Regenerating the soil is the most effective way to grow more food & address climate change. #SoilNotOil is the path to the future. Soil is the answer to problems that the Age of Oil has created" @drvandanashiva bit.ly/3FhP6j5 #WorldFoodDay
