Great reflection, only concern is 'resilience over fragility' as a solution as serves anthropocentric interests (eg climate adaptation) but disregard the fragility of nature, which can be less resilient to the land conversion for agriculture, see also www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Biodiversity is ESG’s blind spot. 🌱 TNFD offers a path, but only robust metrics—extinction risk, habitat recovery, species protection—can turn disclosure into real ecological action. 🌍🦋 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A #OneHealth approach committed to the health of our planet, non-human animals and human animals is powerful.

A #OneHealth approach that is only concerned with non-human animal "health" so we human animals can continue to safely exploit them, has made a terrible error.

We often blame “inequality” alone for hunger, but let’s not ignore scale: 8 billion apex predators, shape ecosystems whether rich or poor, vegans less so in terms of land use. Food security isn’t just yields but also numbers & diet academic.oup.com/oocc/article...

Careful not to perpetuate the myth of absolute decoupling, there is also a crucial difference between organic (bio) and technical cycles, for example, see this work on greenwashing in the food industry that pretends to be circular www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/oa-...
Does waste equal food? | 3 | Examining the feasibility of circular eco
This chapter discusses closed-loop systems Cradle-to-Cradle (C2C) and circular economy, exposing greenwashing practices but also underlining hopeful strategies

Indeed, as land conversion for agriculture is the largest cause of biodiversity loss, and methane contributes to global warming, radical changes in food production are needed. See new article, Solving climate change requires changing our food systems academic.oup.com/oocc/article...
