Here They Come Again...
compost the UN
Srsly. Where ya heard these phrases before?
“It could be as little as 60 years and that is a scary figure because it is not obvious that we have time to reverse decline and still meet future demands for food,” [John Crawford, professor of Sustainable Agriculture at the University of Sydney] said.
“... the most precious resource we have got, and… (we) are not up to the task of securing it for our children never mind our grand children.”
...could vanish within about 60 years if drastic action was not taken.
This will lead to a global food crisis, chronic food shortages and higher prices
Yep—same script::different “crisis.”
...soil is being lost in China 57 times faster than it can be replaced through natural processes.
In Europe that figure is 17 times, in America 10 times [in Australia 5 times].
aaaaand:
Chronic soil mismanagement and over farming causing erosion, climate change and increasing populations were to blame for the dramatic global decline in suitable farming soil, “scientists“ said.
[yes. those are slur-quotes around “scientists"]
*cough*hydroponics*cough* *cough*quit building housing on arable farmland*cough* *cough*compost fake “scientists” and those who sheep them*cough*
OR…
Your Future under the UN
Soil is also a valuable store of carbon and can release the greenhouse gas if it is ploughed or dug up.
*facepalm*
