And note it doesn’t say additional troops nor note how many are already there

I’m not sure how many are currently there but they’ve previously had higher numbers. Like in 2019 they sent 15k

That’s missing what I’m saying

They’re giving Trump’s spin in reporting inadvertently or not

They’re not providing context for how much of a change (or not) Mexico actually is making

The only source in this article is Trump saying this is what happened. Don’t trust what Trump is saying directly. He’s already previously mislead to make it seem like other countries caved when they really did almost nothing

Not completely true, unfortunately. I’ve seen my fair share of them on here before

Some lemmy communities have also done so too

The article was using beef and lamb as an example. It holds across much more than those

Plant-based protein sources – tofu, beans, peas and nuts – have the lowest carbon footprint. This is certainly true when you compare average emissions. But it’s still true when you compare the extremes: there’s not much overlap in emissions between the worst producers of plant proteins, and the best producers of meat and dairy.

If you want a lower-carbon diet, eating less meat is nearly always better than eating the most sustainable meat.

It’s worth noting the deal also specifically increases taxes for animal agriculture above a certain size/emission threshold

For farmland type, they are specifying low-lying soils as primary targets. Low lying soil specifically because reforestation/rewilding can have higher impact

Another important thing to note is that a large amount of farmland is used for feedcrop production in general around the world. For instance, around 90% of Denmark’s cereal crop production goes to animal feed

Denmark is primarily an agricultural exporter. They produce more than they use domestically

We already have solutions, they are largely not technological, but in changing what we consume and produce. Animal products produce substantially worse results compared to any plant-based foods across virtually every metric. Technological solutions don’t move the needle much as even worst case production of plants comes out ahead of the best case production of animal products

If I source my beef or lamb from low-impact producers, could they have a lower footprint than plant-based alternatives?The evidence suggests, no: plant-based foods emit fewer greenhouse gases than meat and dairy, regardless of how they are produced.
