Tampering with food produce at source level remains the single greatest threat to secure provisions of Food (food security).

Balanced Footprints based on Qualitative metrics, are core to the future of sustainable agriculture and food security.  Single footprints favour a specific context or requirement; thus an incomplete indicator to evaluate a healthy ecosystem.

Functional performance is essential to balance both Ecology and the farm Enterprise perspectives; beginning at a micro-level where the circumstances and conditions are known and controlled, then building towards a reliable solution.

Too many imperfect interventions cause a negative impact on basic outcomes such as health and wellness.

World Economic Forum argues for a footprint to remedy climate change by limiting CO₂ gas emissions.  Their ideal footprint depicts an irrational strategy that treats the symptom and not the cause.  No wonder wherever WEF principles are followed their outcomes are dismal as they miss points in causation:-

• Natural resources respond aptly when a balanced footprint exists at micro-level between both the Enterprise and Ecology contexts. The enterprise must sustain itself over the long-term under competitive market rivalry in an attempt to meet customers’ needs while ensuring a continuum of adequately maintained resources. Ecology must be at an optimal functional level, committed to support whatever the food source requires in terms of minerals and soil biology, thus contributing to a vibrant ecosystem.  When either of the two delicate footprints are disrupted through unproven human interventions, the outcome has an unfavourable impact on both footprints, resulting in food insecurity and subjecting the ecosystem to further depreciation.  Harsh consequences follow a continuous regiment of human interventions in nature and agriculture;
• Attention cannot simply focus on Carbon emissions. When soil degradation occurs there are other key drivers involved in cause and effect such as ineffective rainfall, exogenous interventions and financial incentives. Treating a correlated symptom is the issue, rather than negating ill-causes and ineffective practices.  The cause and effect of treating symptoms is yet another inflationary contributor;
• Fossil fuels remain integral to provision of basic energy supplies that stimulate economic growth and cap cost of living. The real crunch is that Energy production constitutes a substantially lower threat to the Ecology, food security and health than equivalent chemical-based inputs (fertilisers, pesticides, preservatives and processed additives). To cease administering chemicals requires more in understanding customer informed requirements (Table to Soil) than following a change-over procedure conversion.  The motivation for source producers to cease ill-practices, lies within the Table-market to express its unmet needs for uncontaminated, nutrient dense produce.  Such health and wellness driven unmet needs are fixed to a life style change, very different to a short-term fad.  The message to producers is a signal to build retail relationships and to grow their target market with wholesome produce. Those who counter argue with economies of scale and plague spoilages, are doing so from an unbalanced footprint context;
• There is no natural law that supports their climate change theory which is only supported by correlated variables and a likelihood of association. To be clear, correlation does not indicate a cause. The root lies squarely in events of inappropriate management. Creation is groaning, worldwide there are floods and natural disasters – yet funding generic infrastructures that are intended to remedy one problem often turn to yield an unexpected outcome.  Changing the course of a dry river bed and building a town downstream on its original path, spells for disaster (Laingsburg, January 1981).  Management decisions and dictated Policy that override a deep understanding of cause and effect are doomed to fail.  It is the duty of markets and producers to allow appropriate flows of information to restrain exogenous organisations and consultants from implementing ill-advised policy.  The cause and effect has a long-term negative bearing;
• Natural News published a report that scientists are yet to refute. The report questions fundamental physical principles of the greenhouse gas theory which challenges the conventional climate dictum that carbon dioxide (CO2) acts as a greenhouse gas with unique warming properties. Based on an 1827 publication, the hypothesis states that water vapour and CO2 act as a shield which prevents infrared radiation (IR) from escaping into outer atmosphere. The hypothesis applied a 200-year old technology of spectrographic analysis to derive that dipole gases absorb infrared radiation, hence the theorem of global warming.  The Allmendinger research tested gas properties through thermal absorption technology as opposed to spectrographic wave absorption and found no greenhouse capabilities within CO₂, O₂, N₂, or Ar gases.  “As a consequence, a ‘greenhouse effect’ does not really exist, at least not related to trace gases such as carbon dioxide.”

This week, the Dutch government is pushing to buy up some 3,000 farming production units and to liquidate all livestock to reduce carbon emissions.  Netherlands is the world’s second largest technology driven agriculture powerhouse and supplies west-European countries annually with 4 million cattle, 13 million pork and 104 million poultry carcasses, a primary source of supply
