How to Watch the 2018 NYC Food Tank Summit (Live Now!)

Jay OwenSustainability News

“Ethical Markets welcomes this broadening of the global debate about re-directing our global food system from its current unsustainable path, based perilously on the planet’s 3% of freshwater, still ignoring the thousands of salt-loving food plants (e.g. quinoa, China’s salt-tolerant rice, etc.) which thrive on saltwater and grow in 22 countries on degraded and desert lands without fertilizers or pesticides … and capture CO2 effectively!

We urge all participants to widen their scope of possibilities by reading our Green Transition Scoreboard ® 2018: “Capturing CO2 While Improving Human Nutrition and Health“ and  our companion TV program “Investing in Saltwater Agriculture: the Next Big Thing “with NASA chief Scientist Dennis Bushnell, on www.ethicalmarkets.com  Find out how investment coalitions with deep pockets  are financing plant-based protein alternative companies  are competing with ecologically -damaging livestock-raised meats.
