No one eats meat in the city of Sequoia, the fictional city in "A New Faith". One of the key reasons behind that is the overall resources required to support a meat-heavy diet are massively greater than a plant-based diet.

For interesting facts about food, please see -

Our World in DataIf the world adopted a plant-based diet, we would reduce global agricultural land use from 4 to 1 billion hectaresWe could reduce the amount of land used for grazing and croplands used to grow animal feed.

The order was the latest admin victory in #SCOTUS in a case arising from #Trump’s blitz of executive orders. Like others, though, it was technical & tentative. The justices said their order would remain in place while the case moved forward.
The case concerned a preliminary injunction issued last month by a federal judge in California that ordered the admin to reinstate >16k probationary employees it had fired from the #Pentagon, the #Treasury, & the #Agriculture, #Energy, #VA & #Interior Depts.

Lu dans les DNA: le premier maraicher du Grand Est, Id3A cesse son activité, victime de la guerre des prix dans la grande distribution, son client presque exclusif. MAIS l’exploitant agricole garde son activité d’élevage de porcs (20 000 bêtes par an). Les terres de maraîchages seront replantées en « grande culture et en maïs pour nourrir nos bêtes ».

"There are multiple reasons for why food prices are on the rise. There are major similarities between the FAO food price index and energy prices. ...Transportation costs have increased a lot, which have two consequences. One is simply that costs increase, the other, equally important, is that competition decreases... More than free trade policies, the low cost of transportation has been the main engine for the economic globalization.

Is 100 years of cheap food coming to an end? Gunnar Rundgren, originally published by Garden Earth April 4, 2025 There are multiple reasons for why food prices are on the rise. There are major similarities between the FAO food price index and energy prices. This is also quite natural as energy is a major input in the whole food system.

By Wikideas1 – Own work, CC0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=133516700 In the US, food prices rose by 23.6 percent from 2020 to 2024 according to USDA statistics. The global supply chains were disrupted in 2020 by the Coronavirus pandemic. In 2022, food prices in the USA increased faster than any year since 1979, due in part to the avian influenza outbreak and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. From the outside it is still a bit hard to comprehend that the US government is dishing out support to farmers because of low commodity prices (even more so considering Musk-Trumps radical cuts in government expenditure) when food prices are on the rise. The cost of raw materials, i.e. the stuff that comes from farms, is, however, a minor share of food prices in rich countries. A global look gives a slightly different picture, with a less dramatic increase than in Europe or the USA. It should be noted that the long term (100 year) trend of food prices was falling until around year 2000, albeit with irregular hikes, mostly associated with oil prices.
