Description: Did you know that food production is the single biggest threat to nature? We all need to eat, but the way we do it today is the main cause of deforestation and biodiversity loss – the treasured variety of life on Earth. It is also a major contributor to the climate crisis – responsible for around one-third of all global greenhouse emissions. The good news is that there are huge opportunities to feed the world in a way that works with nature, not against it. If we do things differently, we can stop forests turning into fields, keep rivers flowing, restore soil fertility and reverse the loss of life on Earth – all the while ensuring there’s enough nutritious food for every person, now and in the future: planetbaseddiets.panda.org This video is produced on behalf of the project “Scaling up Biodiversity Communication”, supported by Germany’s Federal Ministry of the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety with funding from the International Climate Initiative (IKI)
