Food and farming face a critical juncture. Extractive practices have depleted nature, leading to climate change, biodiversity loss, and a public health crisis. Farmers, stewards of half our land, must shift from extractive systems to regenerative, sustainable, and circular economy approaches.

Minette Batters, NFU President, discusses her vision for sustainable farming and involvement with the Global Farm Metric coalition. She runs a diversified family farm and co-founded 'Ladies in Beef' and 'Great British Beef Week'.

A long-standing NFU member, Batters rose through the ranks to President in 2018 and is a Trustee of Farm Africa. This TEDx talk is available at ted.com/tedx.

Environmental justice advocates, including The Climate Reality Project, emphasize the urgent needs of communities of color. Greenaction for Health and Environmental Justice's "We Can't Breathe"

Environmental justice advocates, including The Climate Reality Project, emphasize the urgent needs of communities of color. Greenaction for Health and Environmental Justice's "We Can't Breathe" campaign addresses severe environmental injustice in San Francisco's Bayview Hunters Point (BVHP), a low-income community. Residents suffer high rates of asthma and cancer due to radioactive and toxic contamination at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard Superfund site.

BVHP, one of San Francisco's lowest-lying areas, faces extreme vulnerability to rising sea levels, threatening to flood hazardous waste. Despite these risks, luxury homes are being built near, and thousands more planned for, the contaminated Shipyard Superfund Site, amidst allegations of cleanup fraud. A protest will highlight these critical concerns.
