#Farmers began to use new chemical #fertilizers such as #phosphorous and #ammonia (which is derived from #NaturalGas), and #agrochemicals such as #pesticides and #herbicides  [#oil derivatives]).

The #AngloSaxon capitalist model ruined earth for humanity and many other species. #BigOil has been its undertaker, b/c #BigOilKnew.

If capitalism hadn't made the #GreenRevolution possible, human society would already have reached the #overshoot (1) point at the end of the last century:
In 1968, the #biologists Paul  and Anne #Ehrlich  wrote the book The #PopulationBomb"...

This depends on the country (#CarbonBudget):

Furthermore, there are 9 known #TippingPoints so far (7 here):

But yes, #overshoot already happened. The #GreenRevolution created an illusion which led to a #PhantomCarryingCapacity of Earth:

I agree. A second #GreenRevolution is direly needed. Probably even the only way out to preserve the current societies and reign in the #ClimateCatastrophy.
Systemic thinking and integrated approaches are of the essence.

I had hoped to read about #Agrivoltaics, #WaruWaru and #Camellones. Alas, still none of these terms even appear in the "GLOBAL POLICY REPORT:
The Economics of the Food System Transformation".

Sad.

Europe’s #GreenRevolution Threatens #Indigenous Culture

The #Sámi indigenous people have inhabited northern Sweden for thousands of years. Now their way of life is threatened by giant wind farms, mines rich in rare battery minerals and logging.

By Kasia Strek and Jonas Ekblom
June 26, 2023

"The European #GreenRevolution designed to slow down #ClimateChange globally is threatening the way of life of the Sámi people, one of the continent’s last-remaining indigenous groups. The breakneck pace to decarbonize is having damaging consequences for the #forests and land they have inhabited for thousands of years.

"It’s not the first time progress and industrial development in Sweden come at the expense of the Sámi. The group comprises roughly 80,000 people spread out across northern Scandinavia and is commonly associated with a semi-nomadic lifestyle of #reindeer herding, even though only a minority of Sámis live like this today. In the past, they have been persecuted and oppressed by some Swedish and Norwegian institutions.

"Sweden never had any colonies, but instead it colonized its north, a Swedish saying goes. The abundant minerals, wood and water that helped the country become one of the world’s wealthiest during the 20th century are found mostly in the wild and sparsely populated region that’s also the Sámi’s traditional territory."
