@Evsthetractor @thisfarmlife @Rob_Percival_ Percival misleading again.
The bulk of soya meal is exported to China, and this is driven by China's industrialization over the last 25 years for mass produced ta & inbuilt obsoletion tech destroying their pastures at rate of 1.5 million hectares every YEAR. So at rate of 3 tonne

@Evsthetractor @thisfarmlife @Rob_Percival_ per hectare, this= 1 mill hectares needed to produce UK's imports less than HALF size Wales. BUT deforestation rate DOWN as soya production risen, & this NOT new deforestation, but largely from existing crops. Then 63% of it is for human use as shown by Sustainable Food Trust. So

@Evsthetractor @thisfarmlife @Rob_Percival_ once again the Soil Association is allowing Rob Percival to use its platform to spread misinformation. Indeed as our beef & sheep consume little, China would be better off importing our beef eg to reduce their imports of soya for eg. Not even Brazilian beef

@Evsthetractor @thisfarmlife @Rob_Percival_ uses much soya, 90% of their cattle being pasture fed (de SIlva et al). THe problem is China and its for WEF mass production of consumabes also driving their fossil fuel use BOTH a problem since mid 1990s. Yet they WEF (Gates, Wellcome) have paid scientists

@Evsthetractor @thisfarmlife @Rob_Percival_ & global 'data' twisters to consider livestock within context 'food systems' when in fact 10% emissions eg caused by Fashion industry almost entirely driven synthetics & cotton feed NOBODY req massive land/resource use, not durable like wool. This is FRAUD

@Evsthetractor @thisfarmlife @Rob_Percival_ So tagging MPs this thread showing how soya argument v UK livestock total misinfo as is whole 'food systems' construct as livestock provide so much more co produce VITAL combating eg palm oil & synthetics
