This is a YouTube video titled "What Does Food Have To Do With Climate Change?" containing a conversation recorded on February 13, 2021, discussing the significant role of agriculture and food systems in climate change. The dialogue features Ask AI Mark and another speaker exploring the need to address agriculture alongside fossil fuels in climate initiatives.
There's a massive conversation about climate change. Biden wants to put forth the $2 trillion climate initiative. There's a real thrust with John Kerry being a cabinet level position on climate. And yet, absent from the conversation seems to be any conversation about how agriculture and our agricultural system and food system is either equal to or greater contributor overall end to end to climate change. and that ultimately we can't solve climate change unless we solve our food and agriculture issues as well. It's not just about fossil fuels and solar and wind and all that's important, but it's just it's like, wait a minute over here, like the elephant in the room. Can you talk about that connection and why why is that so? And how do we need to start thinking differently about it?
Well, I think anyone who takes climate change seriously has to look at agriculture. And and hopefully when people start doing that, they will. There were provisions in the Green Revolution, sorry, the Green New Deal.
Real proposal.
Originally that did take agriculture into account. And I'm.
Hopeful that by.
Taking climate more seriously, the administration will understand that agriculture is a big contributor to climate change and needs to be addressed. It's, again, it's up to us to remind them if they, if they don't see it.
