How Israel has decimated local food production in Gaza

Before Israel launched its war on Gaza, about 42 percent of the Strip’s land was used for crops.

According to FAO,

Nearly 70 percent of cropland – which contributed up to one-third of daily consumption – has been destroyed.

More than 70 percent of olive trees and orchards have been burned to the ground.

About 95 percent of cattle and more than half of sheep and goat herds have died.

"The damage we see from this destruction is much more than destroying buildings. You can rebuild a house, but as a farmer, when you lose your yields over many seasons, you lose everything,” says George Mitri, director of the Land and Natural Resources programme at Lebanon’s University of Balamand"

New instance, new #introduction!

I'm a woman in my 30s. I was born in #Québec City, I moved to #Vancouver for my first real job as a #translator and, a few years ago, I moved to #Ottawa with my husband so we could afford a house.

I mostly write in English, but don't hesitate to toot at me in #français!

I've worked in multiple fields... my favourite were my years with Library and Archives #Canada, which I absolutely loved. I now work in #agriculture.

I love #videogames, mostly #FFXIV right now. I have an #ebike. I love #books and #cooking. I miss #travel.

I'm very much pro (vaccine, science, choice, mask, etc.).

Come say hi 👋


"As Earth’s temperature rises, agricultural practices will need to adapt. Droughts will likely become more frequent, and some land may no longer be arable."

"On top of that is the challenge of feeding an ever-growing population without expanding the production of fertilizer and other agrochemicals, which have a large carbon footprint that is contributing to the overall warming of the planet.

"Researchers across MIT are taking on these agricultural challenges from a variety of angles."

"Scientists have been concerned that H5N1 might spread to pigs, which are considered “mixing bowl” species for flu viruses because they carry the same kind of receptors on cells in their lungs as humans and birds."

H5N1 bird flu has been identified in a pig in the United States for the first time, the US Department of Agriculture said Wednesday.
