Regarding your *on point* inclusion of the major animal pandemic and this point:
"2025 will likely see a large-scale outbreak in livestock, triggering economic and food security concerns." THIS is the moment that makes "food for climate" rightfully gain the same priority that energy and transportation shifts have been getting for years. I am here for it, and have long highlighted early-mover leaders in this space for the vision and wisdom they had.
Incredible leadership in the #plantbased food movement is well-positioned to ease the transition and #altprotein innovations have been developing along the way - even as most people have not been paying attention to it or supporting it. As someone who has been forwarding and monitoring this food transition for a while now, there is massive, undeniable #ClimateInfluence potential in this shift. While it shouldn't have to take a major animal pandemic to realize this,... the non-animal product food potential and health, justice and climate opportunities are there and ready to realize.
See what NYC's Food Policy team has been able to do in schools and hospitals, and even via their Plant Powered Carbon Challenge program to amplify corporations making the wise move early. See what the nonprofit, Support & Feed, has been able to do in serving plant-based meals first to first responders during Covid and now, firefighters in LA - with massive awareness raising through large music festivals. The road has been moving in this direction and the foundation for big change has been laid. Let's go.
