>This impact comes from tiny particles created as ammonia from animal waste and fertiliser combines with air pollution from traffic and industry. New solutions are required from the farmers themselves.
Tiny particles created when ammonia combines with particle pollution already in the air.
But farming provides 100% of the food eaten so guess what, it’s not the farmers fault you donkeys.
How about cities cause 80% of all the plastic pollution in the countryside.
Unsurprisingly, it is animal agriculture that is the main offender. While existing pollution from other sources does not help, animal agriculture is much more energy intensive than crop farming and methane and ammonia from animal waste pollutes the air, water and soil nicely. Agriculture is necessary, animal agriculture is not. Saying that is extreme but we are at a point in time where only extreme action will help limit the impact of climate change.
It’s about time we ban farming in this country so we can start importing more of the green and healthier foreign food. We could sell our farmlands to other countries so they take the blame for it too! 😜
Let’s not go Dutch on this one please. Just let people farm ffs.
Sure we should reduce cattle but if we stopped them the pollution is being exported elsewhere.
70% of UK land, 1% the workforce, 0.5% of GDP, 25% our pollution… conclusion… farming is shit…
Should just import more from Holland
Love how the thumbnail ignores the fact that crops are just as if not more damaging to the environment because only way to grow enough is to use pesticides which fun fact are just very weak nerve agents
