Europeans often take their high quality of life for granted. But it wasn’t always this way. This high level of comfort is a recent achievement → and it’s at risk. Without a renewed focus on prosperity, productivity, and growth. ↳ Europe's quality of life will decline.

For most of human history, a good year simply meant survival. Villages were lucky if only few died from plague, famine, freezing, or conflict. Why? Because not starving was the primary goal. Today, reduction in famine mortality is one of the greatest triumphs of our time.

The modern sustainability movement has built itself around a set of ideologically motivated assumptions about what makes something efficient or sustainable. They systematically reject whole branches of science that render us more productive with less resources.

The evidence is so glaringly obvious it makes me wonder why anyone would support food system reversion. Can we do better? Of course, and we shall, as we always have.

Non-GMO Project This is a complete lie. GM corn is safer than non-GM corn as it has 30% lower levels of carcinogenic mycotoxins. Always pleased to refute lies spread by this troll account by provide facts. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Reality: - NO evidence GMOs harmful to human health - NO evidence organic food improve health outcomes Yes, must strive for best, safest & most sustainable food production. But fearmongering about GMOs ain't the path forward. Soon: chatting with Jody Vance on CKNW!

Botrytis Cinerea: A Significant Threat to Wine Production! 😱 This formidable fungus, commonly known as gray rot, poses a substantial risk to the quality and yield of wines, leading to harvest losses of up to 40%. 😫📉 However, its impact goes beyond that! Botrytis cinerea

eNGOs manipulate evidence to "create fear about food." Why is this dangerous? → It discourages the consumption of fresh produce. → It promotes a false sense of food risk. → It perpetuates fear of safe chemistry. People should eat more fresh produce, not be scared away.

In the last six decades crop productivity has soared by 138% using only 15% more land, while the world population has doubled. Today is the best time to be alive.

Can someone please explain German climate hysteria? Even if we moved Germany back into Middle Ages as some degrowth weirdos dream of, there would be barely any impact on climate. The problem is somewhere else.

Almost nothing in your life is natural. And that’s a good thing. Take a look around:- Your home. Your fridge. Your computer. None of them exist in nature. Yet, we’re better off with them.
