The “crunch” we enjoy in many of our foodstuffs is a
manifestation of the “crunch of climate change”.
This crunch is
discussed in a story just published by Oxfam headed: “It’s crunch time for climate change”.
Oxfam points out that some
of the creators of our favourite brands are being accused of things like
reckless de-forestation, overuse of polluting fertilizers, large scale land
clearance, burning forests and harmful production practices in their supply
chains.
“These are the kinds of production
practices which drive dangerous climate disruptions and more hunger. For many
farmers around the world this means they are not able to grow enough food to
feed their families or that they are unable to make a decent living,” Oxfam reports.
