One of the major is animal agriculture, if people adopted a vegan diet, which requires far less water and land, this would greatly reduce world hunger and help promote a healthy planet!
@@hobo0210 "our DNA was designed millions of years ago and agriculture is ~10k years old thing" Uhhh, humans and our ancestors have been eating a wide variety of plant foods for over a million years. The earliest human ancestors were nearly vegan. Agriculture is just the organized mass planting of plant foods, but plant foods grew in the wild long before formal agriculture.
@@HealingLifeKwikly You should not underestimate the phenomenon of agriculture. Prior to this humans were hunter gatherers moving from place to place dependant on whatever food they could find. Agriculture, the planting of crops gave us food security for the first time and enabled us to put down roots and increase our populations which led to the formation of cities. It is only the basis of modern civilisation.
@@DANIL-rb2jz "You should not underestimate the phenomenon of agriculture" Thanks for your reply. I wasn't underestimating agriculture, I was explaining that humans ate lots of plant foods long before agriculture. Take care.
fun fact - since the start of industrialization (and slightly before that too) , eurocentric culture has been responsible for eliminating nearly half the life that was on earth before that period. like, anyone alive today could not even imagine how many animals, bugs and plants there were just about everywhere humans were not. we're pretty close to tipping the ecosystem into a negative feedback loop where all the vital lifeforms of the ecosystem just dont have the other lifeforms they needed to survive. there's too much of the mindset of everything existing in its own isolated vacuum and not enough sober realization of natures interdependence when it comes to cellular life.
@@gregorymalchuk272 But it was the values of the "Enlightenment" that led us toward a self-terminating civilization. Had we stuck with various versions of Indigenous values, we wouldn't have these problems.
@@HealingLifeKwikly If you mean the European Enlightenment....an intellectual and scientific movement which led to many discoveries and revolutionary ideas such as freedom of expression, individual liberty and equality and the restablishment of science as a source of knowledge from which modern civilisation benefits today. Unfortunately it also brought about the Industrial Revolution as Europe and it's western colonies sought to exploit the natural world and we see mass plundering of the earth's resources for the first time with the burning of fossil fuels. This is the source of today's climate and pollution problems. So your 2nd point is absolutely correct. We need to evolve with nature's wellbeing as our focus and the realisation that it's health and survival is inextricably linked with ours.
Very well done documentary. Having Vandana Shiva and the others interviewed was a great move. Only problem with Svalbard, seed bank is those seeds are living embryos and need to be grown out periodically which varies crop to crop. Also a few years ago the permafrost started to melt, if those seeds got wet it would be all over. Also keeping the Gates foundation and multinational companies out of it is critical. They would love to patent everything in there. We needs lots of smaller regional seed banks as well. Putting it all in one place is not perfect. The best way to save those seeds is to grow them out and eat the resulting crops and set aside more seed. If you do another series on this you should include open source seed initiative which is now global. Keeping these seeds open source and in the people’s hands is paramount. Overall well done.
They left out the part about starving to death. There is a reason the 3rd horseman is called famine. I'm not arguing that there isn't a lot of truth being presented but that the science of agriculture is the path forward,
we come to the conclusion on a wide range of possibilities, this might go wrong that might go wrong, but the mystery is always there in nature and supernatural phenomena as we are science students and analyzers of data (the result of what happened after those ideas). after all, food like basic need is guided by a natural mystery that humans can not argue by the law of science, and we don't understand.
For example if I are to ask a question to an endangered wild Bengal Tiger like all other species and wildlife out there around the world especially the Indian Subcontinent all of them would probably most likely one thing in common. qoute: "it is largely your agriculture that you humans use for food production which is and has been damaging, degrading and destroying our homes for centuries on a large scale rather infrastructure expansion and urbanization as these only contribute to a part of your wicked environmental problems, so people please do your best not to let your farmlands expand and further encroach our precious, and vulnerable remaining homes."
Interesting how the biggest problem in our food production was ignored. I'm guessing it was because plants HAVE to be eaten in order to survive, when meat DOES NOT. Everyone wants to blame someone else, not their own CHOICE. Not even discussing consuming less meat &/or free-range organic was mentioned. No, people want lots of it, & cheap. Forget animal welfare & the health of individuals & the planet.
100%. Modern agriculture is incredibly destructive to the environment. Short term gains do more food production. Long term effects: desertification and climate change. Not worth it. Regenrative agriculture is key to solve our agricultural crisis, dependency on the chemical and fertilizers lobbies , reverse climate change and reverse soil desertification. It’s amazing .
Don't feed animals anythings human can't eat or leave them find their own nstursls ..because anything from earth earth missing some of materials over the years what people ate nestly 1/10 of tge earth weight of minerals and nutrients...we need artificial food or nonsoil aeroponic farming

An in-depth discussion on our current global food system that ruins and interrupts natural biodiversity. Bravo!
I love that Al Jazeera is covering this, more people need to know about food sovereignty. I hope Mexico wins the fight against US GM corn.
glad your tackling these topic al jazeera!!

Excellent documentary. Excellent subject matter experts, excellent data, excellent citations. Well done.
Excellent comment. Well done.

Sometimes far harder way

Animals fertilise the soil naturally. Don't demonise it, just in order to virtue-signal your vegan ideology.
funnyyy... our DNA was designed millions of years ago and agriculture is ~10k years old thing ... reducing meat consumption is the way.

This is a fantastic series! Ought to be required viewing. Thank you !
Archaeologists have found the solution.
"Food forest cities" in South America were sustainable.
"Terra Preta" is the key.
The problem is biodiversity decreases with expanding human populations!
