  8. From Ireland Land Use Review latest report: “sustainable land use requires very significant change”.

    Explanations by Caroline O'Doherty:
    "Agriculture is the main polluter of waterways, half of which fail to meet minimum environmental standards.
    "It is responsible for 38 per cent of national emissions – the largest of any sector.
    "It is the number one pressure on wildlife and natural habitats, 90 per cent of which are in poor condition."

'[C]ontrasting today’s deepening dependence and the loss of heirloom varieties against the region’s storied past, said to be the birthplace of #agriculture itself, feels like rubbing salt in the wound. “Lebanon’s millennia-old agricultural heritage—one of the oldest in the world—is under imminent threat,” Salloum told me.'

  10. "The efforts of Lula’s government to combat illegal logging have cut deforestation in the Amazon by half. A raft of vengeful new bills from Brazil’s formidable agribusiness lobby would dismantle this successful crackdown."

    "The sheer scale of the agri-lobby’s legal blitzkrieg can be glimpsed in the laws on offer. These include proposals to slash half a million hectares from the Jamanxim ecological reserve in the Amazon; grant the Ministry of Agriculture control over which animals make the endangered species list; strip protections from 40 percent of forested areas in the state of Pará and from non-forested areas of native vegetation across the country; restrict the government’s ability to monitor criminal risks in rural financing; and, most significantly, to neuter Brazil’s environmental monitoring agency, the Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA), by hampering its ability to combat illegal deforestation using satellite imagery."
