Good idea: climate action to increase crop yields

https://airqualitynews.com/headlines/cleaner-air-from-climate-action-could-ease-hunger-risks/

Previous research has suggested that some climate mitigation measures – such as carbon pricing, expanding crops used for bioenergy and planting forests in new areas – might raise food prices and reduce the number of calories available worldwide. That could leave millions more people at risk of hunger.

However, those studies missed an important side effect: policies that cut greenhouse gases also reduce air pollutants that create ground-level ozone, including methane and nitrogen oxides.

Ground-level ozone is harmful to crops. It damages plants and reduces yields of key staple foods such as wheat, rice and maize. By lowering ozone pollution, climate policies can improve crop productivity and partly offset the economic pressures those policies place on food systems.

Cleaner air from climate action could ease hunger risks

The fight against climate change could unintentionally make global hunger worse. But a new international study suggests that cleaner air – resulting from the same climate policies – could offset part of that harm. Previous research has suggested that some climate mitigation measures – such as…

This doesn’t sit right. 💔 If people ate crops directly instead of feeding them to animals, the global food supply could increase by about 70% - enough to feed another 4 billion people. 😮 Tweet from veganfitnessric #worldhunger #feedtheworld #plantbasedfood

Just 5 yrs ago, when his personal wealth was ONLY $300 billion, Ghoulon #Musk dangled 2% of it or $6B to UN World Food Program to end #WorldHunger by boasting "I will sell #Tesla stock right now and do it,” only to back off as soon as the #WFP took him up on his challenge.

Buying #Twitter & #US Presidency was more important
