THE GREEN PORTAL
PERCEPTION ENABLED
Our food system is sustaining us and killing us at the same time! How did we end up with a food system that can feed the world but makes us so ill? One that destroys wildlife, pollutes our rivers and air, and produces almost a third of our greenhouse gases?
​
Land is unlike other resources
Humanity faces a deepening ‘land crunch’ in the coming decades, as on current trends the demand for land for farming, climate change mitigation and other essential uses will increasingly exceed the availability of appropriate land. Intensifying competition for land will make international cooperation on solutions more important, but also more elusive.
How we choose to use our land is critical to its long term prospects
Sadly, land as a resource is finite - a tract of land’s potential or capacity is not constant – it can be exhausted. A certain tract of land can only yield so much food, sequester so much carbon or support so much biodiversity.
​
Starting to transform our food systems with a just land transition.
If we are to achieve climate and biodiversity goals and the 2030 sustainable development agenda, then the way we produce, distribute and consume our food needs to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. This will require a system reset—some may even argue dismantlement.
Our Preferred Future
As a canvas and demonstrator, interconnected spaces on our land will take policy makers, landowners, farmers, food manufactures, and regular people on a curated journey of exploration, innovation, and restoration across several demonstrators. This journey will support leaders, decision makers and influencers in the provision of solutions to Nature’s nexus: land – agriculture – food.
