We need to improve our food production to be able to save our planet

Hunger and malnutrition are increasing in many parts of the world due to severe storms and droughts, fueled by climate change. This has led to an early Earth Overshoot Day, as more resources are taken from our planet for food production than our planet can compensate for. Additionally, food production causes a lot of greenhouse gas emissions and depletes water sources. These environmental concerns are likely to become worse when we continue current food production, as production is predicted to increase by 70% by 2050. Changing production methods is important to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, ensure enough fresh water is available, and soil remains healthy. In this article, I explain how we can improve our food production and save our planet:

    If food production is done almost in all areas, they'll be less transportation of food, less carbon emission,fresh foods to healthy lives lived

      We need to review our eating habits and farming/ production techniques so that we are respectful of the planet that sustains us.

                If we embark on improving food production, we need to check on sustainability. Begining from methods of farming to sustainable means of production.

                  This is great! Huge proponent for regenerative agriculture! Check out some of the stuff I've shared if you want to know more on that specific topic

                    improvement in food production can improve soil fertility,prevent the pollution of water, land,air and support biodiversity.
