Feeding the World - A Message of Hope
summary
Global food systems are breaking planetary boundaries yet practical fixes already scale: a project in Andhra Pradesh converts a million farmers to natural farming, cuts production costs by 80% less cost and attracts 300 million euros at 0.5% to scale; plan aims for 120 million farmers and could avoid a billion tons of emissions. Key facts: agriculture employs ~1 billion people, 500 million smallholders, 40% food loss, 43 billion tons CO2 last year and insurance losses now exceed $100+ billion.
