FoodWISE, sterile bananas, and EU strategies for a coronavirus-resistant food system

Gigi Berardi reads about biodiversity in FoodWISE—and genetically old and biologically sterile bananas. Enter the European Parliament—making the food system more resilient, not less, in the coronavirus pandemic. For example, as is described here, A most resilient food system, Sustainable food for 2030 is going to look like this:

“50% reduction in the use and risk of pesticides

At least 20% reduction in the use of fertilisers

50% reduction in sales of antimicrobials used for farmed animals and aquaculture

25% of agricultural land to be used for organic farming.”

Wow.
