The hidden costs of of agricultural systems was just released as part of the FAO's State of Food and Agriculture report. The biggest insight was on the impact of unhealthy diets on our healthcare costs. 73% of the $12.7 trillion in costs were related to unhealthy outcomes of our food systems. While we focus our attention on climate, water and land use, it is the health impacts of our food and agriculture system that are most concerning. We should expect to see major shifts in our governments policy and regulatory environment as these costs become a center part of the food system discussion. #climate #nutrition #healthcare https://lnkd.in/g644PVCx

A little change in our diet 10,000 years ago transformed gut health—both for better and worse. The dietary shift that came as a result of agriculture, particularly through the introduction of starchy cereals and processed wheat, profoundly influenced our microbiomes. The shift from wild, diverse foods to more uniform agricultural products resulted in reduced microbial diversity and increased inflammation However, just as our ancestors adapted their diets, we can also make positive changes. By incorporating diverse, fiber-rich foods and reducing processed wheat, we can help restore some of the beneficial gut bacteria, enhance our digestion, and reduce our risk of chronic diseases.

"I think it's probably the most essential thing we're dealing with on the farm" Adam Henson, BBC Television Presenter and Director of Adam Henson's Cotswold Farm Park says on soil health. Today is the International Day of Plant Health, recognising that 80 percent of the food we eat and 98 percent of the oxygen we breathe come from plants. Healthy plants start with healthy soil, putting soil health at the pinnacle of our thought process. Today we are focusing on an essential mineral nutrient for soil and plant health, sulphur. Sulphur has a central role in the production of amino acids methionine & cysteine, which are the building blocks of protein in plants, directly impacting the nutritional value of human and livestock feeds. 🌾 Find out more about sulphur https://go.lkab.com/2l 🔗 See Adam talk more about soil health https://go.lkab.com/2k #PlantHealth #SoilHealth

On the eve of #worldpulsesday sharing some lesser known but interesting facts about "PULSES". Why are pulses important crops? - Nutritional value - Food security - Environmental benefits Did you know? ~ Intercropping with pulses increases farm #biodiversity and creates a more diverse landscape for animals and insects. ~ The nitrogen-fixing properties of pulses can improve soil fertility, which improves and extends the productivity of farmland. ~ Pulses are highly water efficient: for producing 1 kg of lentils needs 1250 liters, while 1 kg of beef requires 13,000 liters. #didyouknowfacts #pulses #soilfertility #foodsecurity #nutrition #environment
