  6. "Agribusiness remains the primary driver of invasions of Indigenous lands in Brazil. Cattle ranching accounts for more than half of the total area of Indigenous lands invaded by the sector, followed by soy production, revealing the direct link between the international commodities trade, deforestation, and human rights violations.

    APIB warns that pressure on these territories is not limited to the Amazon. The displacement of deforestation and the expansion of the agricultural frontier into other biomes – such as the Cerrado, Pantanal, Pampa, and Caatinga – is already a reality. The Cerrado, for example, has experienced accelerated deforestation precisely due to increased pressure on the Amazon.

    This dynamic intensifies territorial conflicts, escalates violence, and deepens the vulnerability of indigenous peoples living in regions historically affected by the expansion of soy, livestock, mining, and large-scale infrastructure projects.

    Tracking deforestation alone is not sufficient. Mechanisms must also ensure the identification and accountability of companies involved in illegal activities and crimes such as human rights violations, forced displacement of communities, violence against Indigenous leaders, territorial invasions, precarious labor conditions, pesticide contamination, and the destruction of ways of life—across all areas of origin and in all biomes, without exception.

    There is no climate justice without the full protection of Indigenous territories. There is no sustainable development when peoples are sacrificed in the name of profit. The rights of Indigenous peoples are not bargaining chips in trade negotiations and commercial operations."

  7. 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."

  8. 'The dark, loamy dirt has been called #Ukraine’s “black gold,” and it’s some of the most fertile on earth [...] But environmental groups and farmers’ advocates have warned that the large-scale #industrialMonoculture practiced by #agribusiness threatens to degrade this prized soil through intensive harvesting and overuse of #fertilizers and #pesticides.'

  9. Let's cover the Mid North Coast of NSW in plastic..

    Image:
    "Surrounding the town of El Ejido, Almeria Province, southern Spain is a sea of greenhouses, stretching for tens of kilometers. Millions of tons of vegetables are exported to other European countries and other parts of the world. The image covers an area of 19 x 30.5 km, was acquired July 20, 2008, and is located at 36.75 degrees north latitude, 2.75 degrees west longitude."

  10. CW: Chattel slavery for sugar and rum 🧶

    In 1776, Scotsman Adam "Smith noted that the British West Indian sugar plantations were so profitable they their returns from rum exports, a byproduct of sugar production, paid for the entire overhead expenses of a sugar plantation. As far as Smith was concerned, this was an achievement without parallel in eighteen-century British imperial agriculture."

    (excerpt from Seymour Drescher’s book "The Mighty Experiment: Free Labor versus Slavery in British Emancipation")
