Reboot Food! How farming is killing the planet & how science could save it

What’s the biggest cause of the sixth mass extinction of species?

What emits more greenhouse gas than all the world’s cars, aeroplanes and ships put together?

What kills 75 billion animals a year?

Food.

It’s time to face the facts. Our food system ​​– dominated by meat, fish and dairy ​​– is devouring the planet. If we want to leave a liveable world for the next generation, we need to reboot food.

Join scientists, activists, policymakers and farmers for the launch event of RePlanet’s radical new campaign, Reboot Food. In this 60 minute webinar we’ll explore how agriculture became the most damaging industry the planet has ever known, and present a new, provocative, science-backed roadmap to building a food system that allows our natural world to recover.

Don’t miss out as we explore key food technologies like precision fermentation, examine core principles such as land sparing and rewilding, and enthral you with our manifesto of essential government policies, such as ending animal farming subsidies, that could make this transition come true.

About RePlanet

RePlanet is a newly launched citizens movement in eight different European countries. We are radically ambitious on climate and nature and radically pro-science. Our aims are to see 50-75% of Europe rewilded, our climate stabilised, animal agriculture replaced and the Global South guaranteed a high energy pathway to climate prosperity. Unlike many Green NGOs we defend science-enabled solutions such as advanced nuclear energy, precision fermentation and genetic engineering. RePlanet is exclusively funded by charitable donations and accepts no funding from industry or political parties.
