Kazakh MP Advocates for AI-Driven Land Resource Management

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://timesca.com/kazakh-mp-advocates-for-ai-driven-land-resource-management/

Today is the start of the 5th #CodeRouge action in #Belgium - targeting the #AgroIndustry this time!

Act against agro-industry

https://acties.todon.nl/event/act-against-agro-industry

#CodeRood voert weer actie! Deze keer is de agro-industrie het doelwit, in solidariteit met de boeren!

We steunen boeren die zich verzetten tegen de macht van de reusachtige bedrijven die hun producten verwerken, verkopen en verspreiden. Net als de fossiele brandstoffenindustrie vernietigen deze bedrijven ecosystemen en de volksgezondheid, en laten ze ons opdraaien voor hun enorme winsten door middel van imploderende voedselprijzen. 🤬🤯

We verenigen ons met boeren om een voedselsysteem te eisen dat rechtvaardigheid en gezonde ecosystemen belangrijker vindt dan hebzucht en destructieve concurrentie. We willen betaalbaar, gezond voedsel voor iedereen tegen een eerlijke prijs voor de boeren. 🚜📣

Zoals altijd kunnen we de exacte doel(en) en locatie(s) niet onthullen omdat de overheid ons om de een of andere onbekende reden meestal probeert tegen te houden... 🙃😉

#BigMeat #AgroIndustry #Environment #Greenwashing #Disinformation #Propaganda: "None of this is terribly surprising — it’s largely the same denial and deflection playbook run by Big Oil to avoid responsibility for climate change, with the usual suspects helping: industry-aligned academics, front groups, loyal politicians, and social media influencers.

But among those allies are groups that are surprising: some of the world’s largest environmental organizations.

Take the World Wildlife Fund, or WWF, a green giant with over $600 million in assets. WWF and McDonald’s are both founding members of the beef roundtable, and later, the two worked together on other beef-related projects. In fact, that inaugural conference in 2010 was officially titled the World Wildlife Fund Global Conference on Sustainable Beef. (WWF has helped to found similar industry roundtables for poultry and soy — most of which is fed to farmed animals — and a certification program for seafood.)

For its collaboration, McDonald’s makes sure WWF is well compensated; from 2015 to 2022, the company donated $4.5 to $9 million to WWF-US.

From 2017 to 2022, WWF-US brought in approximately $12 million to $28.6 million from various meat, dairy, seafood, fast food, restaurant, and grocery companies, including Tyson Foods, Cargill, Burger King, Costco, Walmart, Red Lobster, Chobani, and Dairy Management Inc., a dairy trade group. (WWF only discloses donation ranges, not specific dollar amounts, and many of its corporate donations are multifaceted, used to address meat and other parts of a company’s supply chain, like plastics, palm oil, and food waste.)"

#Pesticides #Farming #AgroIndustry #PublicHealth: "The just-released analysis showed that “agricultural pesticides can increase your risk for some cancers just as much as smoking,” says coauthor Isain Zapata, an associate professor of research and statistics at Rocky Vista University in Colorado. For example, living in places with high pesticide use increased the risk of colon and pancreatic cancers by more than 80 percent, results that surprised even the researchers.

“In my opinion, that’s crazy,” Zapata said, adding they were not expecting to find such a significant association.

The research idea came from one of Zapata’s students, a medical student who grew up on a farm. The scientists obtained data on the use of sixty-nine different pesticides from surveys conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). They then compared these to cancer incidence rates per county nationwide, using databases from the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 2015 to 2019. Finally, they adjusted the analysis for other factors that might have contributed, including socioeconomic disparities. The results were published on Thursday in the academic journal Frontiers in Cancer Control and Society."
