Działania edukacyjne „Reboot Food” w roku szkolnym 2025/2026
Z nieukrywaną radością rozpoczynamy nowy rok szkolny i startujemy z etapem II projektu „Rebooting the Food System”. To komponent edukacyjny skierowany do uczennic i uczniów szkół gastronomicznych w Krakowie i okolicznych miastach. Naszym celem jest połączenie wiedzy teoretycznej z praktyką.

Today is #WorldFoodDay and we are launching our new #McChoice campaign which calls on McDonald's Australia to offer a plant based menu nationwide.
Sign our petition today - www.mcchoice.au
The McChoice campaign is about increasing environmentally sustainable choices for consumers. We’ve seen other food outlets increasingly offer #plantbased and meat free alternatives but McDonald’s, which offers a plant-based menu overseas, has failed to provide their customers with a choice in Australia.
We hope this campaign will also kick start a national conversation about the sustainability of our food system and the exciting technologies which can make our food truly sustainable.

Our lead #RebootFood campaigner Ash at the #ALP National Conference protest this morning. Ash took a moment to share about the need to not only rapidly phase out #FossilFuels but also fix our unsustainable #food system.

Australian perspectives on #rewilding at #UNSW
Australia has 100 known extinctions since 1788, dozens of species critically #endangered
LOCAL CONTEXT
A/Prof Katherine Moseby notes that leaving nature alone isn’t enough to rewild Australia due to the extent of the damage. Also this continent has a long history of First Nations management, as opposed to being "left alone".
INTRODUCED PREDATORS
Rewilding is also more than reintroducing species to areas. E.g. where introduced predators are part of the problem, reintroducing a prey species is just shoving them into the meat grinder.
On the other hand, species raised in predator-free reserves can lose their evasive skills.
How can introduced predators be controlled? 1080 poison is controversial, but used because native animals have a tolerance to it. There are so many that shooting (cats and foxes) cannot be effective. No mention of species-specific sterilisation technology.
(Gene drive technology is probably not suitable for controlling introduced predators. This involves releasing populations of the target animal that can only father male offspring.)
REWILDING / AGRICULTURE
Great audience questions about balancing farming with restoring ecosystems.
Prof Richard Kingsford notes a lack of ready solutions, but it seems the answer must include producing more food in cities.

BAD METRICS
Reintroduction into fenced reserves is not a substitute for rewilding. Australia has met the criteria for delisting some endangered species due to healthy populations in fenced areas… but wild populations are still in decline.
CLIMATE EFFECTS
More frequent, more intense heatwaves will affect rewilding efforts as you might expect (animals will die).
Many of our threatened species live underground, which protects them… but are also nocturnal, and more badly affected by rising overnight temperatures.

Big thanks to the hosts and speakers.
One country has managed to increase wild nature and food production. That country is Costa Rica.
RePlaneteer Hidde explains how they achieved this with a policy of Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES).
Should you choose #organic for the environment?
Too long, didn't listen? The answer is "no".

Joel Scott-Halkes, campaigns director at "pro-science NGO" RePlanet, says the "absurdly massive area of land" taken up by animal farming globally "desperately needs to be rewilded so that we can end the destruction of nature and draw down enough carbon from the atmosphere to stabilise our climate".
