@G_stordalen @FoodSystems @DanSaladinoUK @EATforum Of course it has been. We see people like Pepsico and WEF & GAIN (Gates) whose interests anti livestock. Indeed whole idea 'food systems' devoid of other human consumerism enables fraudulent accounting esp livestock co produce: This isn't going away threadreaderapp.com/thread/1387378…

@G_stordalen @FoodSystems @DanSaladinoUK @EATforum So none your 'science' of 'food systems' takes in to account co produce like wool, leather, tallow v alternatives like palm oil, synthetics & cotton & extra land/resources/emissions needed. Cotton & synthetics feed nobody; do not insulate, & req constant production as not durable

@G_stordalen @FoodSystems @DanSaladinoUK @EATforum and the shift to those -most suits/coats/clothes up until 30 yrs ago used wool/leather/cashmere etc most shoes (leather l/e 20 yrs+ v 6 months synth)- has come with massive emissions increase with fashion acc 10% emissions whereas those came low cost as co prod livestock. Easy

@G_stordalen @FoodSystems @DanSaladinoUK @EATforum to see where the increase in emissions and pressure on pasture/grassland biodiversity, agricultural land etc China has come from last 30 yrs its mass production of tat, clothing, & inbuilt obsoletion tech. Completely wasteful models that between them account for a quarter of

@G_stordalen @FoodSystems @DanSaladinoUK @EATforum emissions and colossal land & resources use. Recycling it is a pathetic idea that will continue those wasteful models & still req industrialized process that causes the emissions as described, to produce something feeding nobody failing to insulate and not durable. It's a

@G_stordalen @FoodSystems @DanSaladinoUK @EATforum circular economy alright a circular economy of stupidity when wool & leather coming WITH meat so it feeds BEST nutritional quality, insulates, & mega durable. Got that? So you buy a coat of sheepskin in 1939 and its still HERE not in LANDFILL, & likely worth a bob or two. Then

@G_stordalen @FoodSystems @DanSaladinoUK @EATforum you talk the talk about livelihoods & equity but failed to see the extended value in to communities re that co produce provides, high value skilled livelihoods & produce, & cultural value. You see take something like buttons. Corporates, choose the cheapest nastiest plastic

@G_stordalen @FoodSystems @DanSaladinoUK @EATforum buttons they can find to a garment, as a button for 1p for them is better than a button that costs £1 from cow horn (or shell, cabouchon, wood whatever). It's 1p because its made with exploited labour. The small biz doesn't think that way: they produce QUALITY they take pride in,

@G_stordalen @FoodSystems @DanSaladinoUK @EATforum and willing to pay the extra price which then means money going in to the Ankole Herder's community. Then of course you have Namibia & Afghan pastoralists providing high value wool & hide Swakara/karakul. Mongolian herders cashmere etc. As UK production declines in favour of the

@G_stordalen @FoodSystems @DanSaladinoUK @EATforum corporate crap made in China, then farmers can't get good prices for wool, and all have been impacted by lockdowns while global corporate online tat booming as only way folk could shop. Utterly farcical & looks like what it is given Wellcome who also backed you lot also invested

@G_stordalen @FoodSystems @DanSaladinoUK @EATforum in Amazon, JD, Ali Baba etc gaining from closure of traditional retail small business and disruption to manufacturing of quality (people don't buy expensive stuff online so much, and often its tailored for eg). So it's disruption all round in favour of the WEF & global corporates

@G_stordalen @FoodSystems @DanSaladinoUK @EATforum And to see Gates & Wellcome so engaged in both, is farcical & transparent, esp when they have invested in business models based on such wasteful & energy/land/resources intensive use; yet stand to gain by
move to plant based diets and with associated labour exploitation. YARA

@G_stordalen @FoodSystems @DanSaladinoUK @EATforum up to their necks in it too. Having ANY of these companies & players anywhere near a food & environment summit is like having mass rapists in a summit on women's rights. They are the real cause of ALL the problems: biodiversity, labour abuse, food imperialism, and rich from the

@G_stordalen @FoodSystems @DanSaladinoUK @EATforum sift away from animal co produce, and inbuilt obsoletion tech & mass tat, farcically with people like IKEA involved too at philanthropic level when they broke the model of sustainable furniture. Then there's Pepsico Nestle etc

@G_stordalen @FoodSystems @DanSaladinoUK @EATforum I don't know how people like you, Wellcome, and the UN sleep nights with what you have attempted. I understand Gates he's a megalomaniac sociopath, and YARA Pepsico whatever well corporates just gonna do their profit at all costs stuff until caught. I can only assume, you & your

@G_stordalen @FoodSystems @DanSaladinoUK @EATforum team have attempted it in the naive belief it is for the greater good somehow re animals given your record re animal rights, & Springmann etc being vegan. But there's nothing ethical about lies; not even in the greater good, especially when you are enabling these WEF corporatist

@G_stordalen @FoodSystems @DanSaladinoUK @EATforum shits who have done greatest damage in shortest period to the planet, human dignity & cultural/economic autonomy, and the food corps got us fat & obsese on carbs & sugar too, but ALSO to animals. Elephants survived 5k yrs by side pastoralism Africa, but may not survive avaocados.

@G_stordalen @FoodSystems @DanSaladinoUK @EATforum Once more, this thread explains more and some of the 'ethics' and agendas behind the idea of 'food systems' conjured up for domination of food resources and planet by the corporate financial & tech elite. Hang your heads in shame @FoodSystems
