chavan<p>"We live in a world of mass farming, where fewer staples are being grown. Of an estimated 6,000 plant species humans have eaten, just nine are now common, and three, wheat, rice and maize, provide around half of all the calories consumed globally... Three-fourths of the world's food supply comes from 12 plants and 5 animal species." <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/foodsystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>foodsystem</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fooddiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fooddiversity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>food</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>climatechange</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>agriculture</span></a> <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/global-seed-vault-becomes-more-important-than-ever-as-climate-change-threatens-crops" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">pbs.org/newshour/show/global-s</span><span class="invisible">eed-vault-becomes-more-important-than-ever-as-climate-change-threatens-crops</span></a></p>
janet<p>Around the world there are thousands of unique foods and flavours - varieties of fruits, grains, vegetables and animal breeds. And products of a specific place, from a type of bread, to a style of cheese. <br>Many are endangered and disappearing. We need to help save them. <br>Food diversity can help increase resilience around the world, and protect against future threats including climate change. </p><p>Food Diversity is essential for our health and for the health of the planet.<br>Food Diversity is part of our identity. It is part of our culture. <br>Food Diversity represents our past and our future. </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFj8yCBR_mM" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=jFj8yCBR_m</span><span class="invisible">M</span></a></p><p><a href="https://todon.nl/tags/seedfreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>seedfreedom</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/fooddiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fooddiversity</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/heirloomseeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>heirloomseeds</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/nogmo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nogmo</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/agroforestry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>agroforestry</span></a></p>
Carolannie<p>Decreased diversity in any system means increased fragility. The fewer the pathways to avert a problem, the more likely a problem is to crash the system. So our decreased food diversity worldwide is really a huge problem, from vulnerable crops to vulnerable people, and it's not just Anglo-ethnic foods<br><a href="https://c.im/tags/Systems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Systems</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Diversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Diversity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Fragility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fragility</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/FoodDiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FoodDiversity</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/food/2023/jan/23/endangered-foods-why-our-diet-is-narrower-than-ever-and-these-seven-foods-urgently-need-saving" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/food/2023/jan/</span><span class="invisible">23/endangered-foods-why-our-diet-is-narrower-than-ever-and-these-seven-foods-urgently-need-saving</span></a></p>
