The climate change cult means business; yes, harm to business if it is agriculture. While we have seen much of this “close down the farms movement” in Europe, especially the Netherlands, the same seems to be kicking over as well in the United States. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry, has said that control of agriculture is essential for the climate change agenda, to end global warming. Supposedly, agricultural production accounts for 33 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, which to Kerry’s mind makes it a first priority. This is a problem though, as he recognised since the world’s population is growing, albeit at a decreasing rate, so the demand for food, and hence more agriculture, will increase as well. Lip service is given to improving efficiency, but that is just a fallacy as the Netherlands farms are highly efficient but are on the globalist agenda to be closed down.
By default, the world’s population will not be fed, and if the global elites get their way, humanity starves.

“Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry warned Wednesday that the world can't tackle climate change without first addressing the agriculture sector's emissions.
Kerry lamented that agriculture production alone creates 33% of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions, arguing that reducing those emissions must be "front and center" in the quest to defeat global warming, during remarks Wednesday morning at the Department of Agriculture's AIM for Climate Summit. The former secretary of state also touted so-called climate smart agriculture as a potential solution.
"A lot of people have no clue that agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world," he said during his keynote address. "We can't get to net-zero, we don't get this job done unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution. So all of us understand here the depths of this mission."
"Food systems themselves contribute a significant amount of emissions just in the way in which we do the things we've been doing," he continued. "With a growing population on the planet – we just crossed the threshold of 8 billion fellow citizens around the world – emissions from the food system alone are projected to cause another half a degree of warming by mid-century."
Kerry added that "lives depend" on world leaders and scientists developing the tools necessary to lower agriculture emissions.
Overall, the global food system – which includes land-use change, actual agricultural production, packaging and waste management – generates about 18 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year, the equivalent of 34% of total worldwide emissions, according to a March 2021 study published in the Nature Food journal.
In the U.S., though, agriculture alone generates about 10% of total greenhouse gas emissions, federal data showed.”
