📢 The #UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has not provided a meaningful response to an open letter Profundo signed about serious methodological errors in a recent report: "Pathways towards Lower Emissions". 🥩 These errors downplayed the #emissions reduction potential of a shift to lower-meat and dairy #diets. 🔎 The FAO’s claims were mainly based on two papers. Scientists who co-authored these papers recently accused the FAO of distorting their work and called for the #report to be retracted. ❗ The FAO's response does not address the serious concerns outlined in the initial open letter ✉ This new open letter reiterates the points addressed in the first open letter calling on the FAO to address areas of concern Read the newest letter here: https://lnkd.in/epT7pSP7 Guardian coverage of the letter: https://lnkd.in/e-ZV52za #meat #dairy #methodology #foodsystems #methane #climatecrisis #science #research

❗ An investigation led by Global Witness reveals that British #bank Barclays earned $1.7 billion from financing Brazilian #meat giant JBS over the last five years as the company’s operations contributed to the invasion and destruction of an Indigenous territory in Brazil. 🔎 Profundo conducted the #financial research where Barclays emerged as the largest creditor to JBS’s global operations, with the highest income generated from #loans and #underwriting fees among over 30 other #financiers. 🌳 The Apyterewa territory, home of the Parakanã people, in northern Brazil’s Pará state has seen more #deforestation than any other #Indigenous territory in recent years in the Brazilian #Amazon. 🔥 In Apyterewa, environmental destruction walks hand in hand with violence. "They destroyed everything. All we have left is grass. Our animals burned to death" - Mama Parakanã, chief (cacique) of Apyterewa Indigenous Village Contributing researchers: Andrea Fernández Tinoco ; Ward Warmerdam Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/erq7tTFw #brazil #landgrabbing #deforestation #livestock #bank #banking #meat
