đŸ§µInstitutions like the @WorldBank claim to be leading the way on climate action.

The truth is much of its investment in "climate-smart agriculture" is really just protecting the profits of the corporations that are fuelling the #ClimateCrisis and the #FoodCrisis. 1/8
Corporations have co-opted food & climate spaces — pushing the idea that the #FoodCrisis is a production problem that can be solved by increasing yields.

Only, we already produce enough food to feed everyone. In fact according to @FAO, we produce enough for 10 billion people.2/8
Market controls, monocropping and land concentration are solutions to an underproduction issue that doesn't exist.

They're great for corporate profits but they don't address the real causes of poverty, hunger & climate collapse — they make them worse.
