“Changing unsustainable … patterns of food production and consumption is one of the essential requirements for sustainable development.” “To reorient food consumption towards diets that are less resource intensive and more nutritious will be crucial for food sustainability.” (Convention on Biological Diversity 5-22-2008 and “International Day for Biological Diversity 2015, Sustainable Development Goal 12”, www.cbd.int/idb/2008/default.shtml.) Reorient yourselves to that game plan.

“Unsustainable human activities:” Grazing livestock, large hoofed animals, disturbance of soil surface, agriculture and aquaculture, land use that serves human needs (golf courses and ski runs).” Global Diversity Assessment directed by the U N Environment Programme (UNEP), 2-23-2003, http://www.freedomadvocates.org/articles/sustainabledevelopment/whatis%22sustainable%22.

Those chilling statements should provide a warning about anyone throwing around the words sustainable and biological diversity, especially pertaining to food control, which was, by the way, the subject of an article in the May 22, 2008, Convention on Biological Diversity.

More to come later.
