Three quarters of all farmland is devoted to #AnimalAgriculture. The destruction of #Habitat largely to graze and feed livestock has eliminated over 70% of the planet’s wildlife. Globally, 80 billion animals are killed each year for only 12% of the human diet. To keep the meat and dairy industries afloat, this slaughter is subsidized. At the same time, the topsoil is seriously degraded due to industrial farming of all kinds.
#RegenerativeFarming offers a better way to grow food, but it requires farm animals.
Instead, shouldn't we seize the opportunity to allow wildlife to return and flourish?
