How farming is burning up our planet | Spotlight EP 8, Earthrise x Bloomberg 

Hello, Earthrise has moved. You can follow our journey and watch all of our new videos over on our new RU-vid channel, see you there! www.youtube.com/@earthrise.studio?sub_confirmation=1

One aspect of regenerative farming I was surprised not to see covered in this one, is how it requires a global increase in plant-based meals to be able to supply the demand. I'm sure we can all agree that factory farming is abhorrent, and the world would be a better place without it - but to make that world possible, we have to reduce the amount of animals we consume. I always feel like this is absolutely key in uniting the farming community with the environmental community. The two can and must go hand-in-hand!

Keep up the great work Earthrise!

I remember i used to watch u and ur twin soooo many years ago. glad to see ur doing important stuff for the environment! so cool😊

The finale was really great! Didn't expect it, but immediately knew once that pizza box was open.

as long the cattle eat gras, without cemical nitrogen fertilizer, the carbon in methan (which will be decomposed to co2 after serveral years) is plantbased and co2-neutral. the main source of greenhouse gas in agriculture ist fuel and chemical fertilizer from fossiel energy sources

Ily! Keep goin!

This kind of informative is VITAL to spread!!!! This is SO important!!!!!

2.6 milllion trees might sound a lot bet even at 5m apart that is only that is only 5km by 13km , that is only a fraction of the 15 Billion we cut down every year including in wild habitats. They will take around 20 or 30 years to absorb any appreciable amount of carbon. We need to be planting billions of trees and preserving huge areas of virgin forests and habitats. A global climate emergency taken seriously would see us planting 2 to 3 *trillion* trees to create rich habitat. Such a scale would need serious input from a range of ecologists and specialists that we do not have in place.

Regenerative farming is a beautiful solution, but we have to understand why and how those farmers were able to change before blaming those who haven't yet. And assess whether that practice is suitable or possible for other farmers in their own context. This video neglects key nuances in the methane debate, like the short carbon cycle versus long carbon cycle. Much of this video are cries and "solutions" we've heard before. There are many more farming styles than regenerative (which is actually a primary focus on soil health), like biodynamic, biodiverse, agroecology, etc. All of which have the capacity for positive environmental impact. There is no silver bullet. Use your platform to highlight niche solutions and inspire. Don't make people feel more helpless with things we hear constantly or have already heard. Also funny to label the cow with the "unsustainable meal" stamp. Many cows are critical in regenerative farming of grasslands. 🤦🏻‍♀️

If it had subtitles, I could understand more😌

You talked about the restore, but what about the not exploits? Industrial agriculture is incredibly exploitative for workers. Farming techniques aren't enough. Paying living wages and securing human rights to our most valuable workers is the minimum of what we should do.

beautiful work 🦆

This is so disappointing. Farmers are feeding our nation. They’re working hard, they’re being under paid and unfairly treated in the system. I work on dairy farms - less stress less farts just isn’t true. This is scare mongering. I agree that we need to protect our planet, correct legislation is being put in place to hold farmers accountable to this. But this video is soooo far off. You make it sounds like an easy and fast solution, when the production on meat and milk for example is needed. People need to shop local. Our government needs to do deals with OUR farmers, not deals with NZ and Oz for cheaper, less legislated meat/products being flown thousands of miles across the earth. Really one sided, disappointing video.

Go vegan. Less farm animals = less methane. Not the perfect solution but it will be a big help for our planet.

Yay a grifter alarmist. Just what we need.
