#Deforestation alters the Amazon’s #climate (precipitation & CO2 removal) with far-reaching consequences for the global climate system. From 1985-2020 there was a significant drop in #forest cover from 89% to 79%, while #pastures increased from 4% to 15%: doi.org/10.1038/s414... #landuse #cattle

A #Food Reckoning Is Coming
Our #diets are awful for planet. We can’t simply abandon food.
Challenge is: what we #eat, how we produce it, and forests and ecosystems we clear to make room for more #farms to make more food. And that’s mostly a land story about relentless spread of #crops and #pastures that cover 2 of every 5 acres of land on Earth, obliterating wild landscapes that soak up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. We have no idea how or when that story will end.

#Armenia has 2.1 million hectares of #agriculturalLand, 72% of the country's land area. Most of this, however, is mountain #pastures, and #cultivableLand is 480,000 hectares (452,900 hectares #arableLand, 27,300 hectares in #orchards and #vineyards), or 16% of the country's area. In 2006, 46% of the work force was employed in agriculture (up from 26% in 1991), and agriculture contributed 21% of the country's GDP. In 1991 Armenia imported about 65 percent of its food.
