In their climate policy scenario, expanding cereals/legumes by around 1% of agricultural land area (50k ha) offsets reduced beef in net protein terms, though digestible protein still falls slightly.

Beans are the way to go for climate and food security.

New UCC paper shows how low beef and sheep systems are for net digestible protein per hectare: they produce protein for 2–3 people per ha, versus ~23 for milk and ~40 for legumes. That’s ~15× more digestible protein per hectare from legumes than beef.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!
Getting off US tech: a guide
I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

You can judge a person by the size of their moral circle. Trump, for instance, has the smallest possible moral circle, containing only him. Be the opposite: expand your circle. Include, for example, animals currently raised for food. We shut them out of our consciences. It's time to bring them in.

Let's be clear - not ONE of the Palestine Action hunger strikers have been found guilty of a crime.
They haven't even been tried yet.
They are being held on remand charged with terrorism offences. They have not been found guilty.
As such they are legally innocent.
And dying in British jails.
"City of London Police said a 22-year-old woman has been arrested for displaying a placard in support of proscribed organisation, Palestine Action, contrary to Section 13 of the Terrorism Act 2000."
