Beef and dairy production accounts for 41% of the biodiversity damage caused by the world's farmland, according to an international study.
Published in Nature Food, the research also shows that the environmental impacts of farming are concentrated in relatively few places. ⅔ of the world's carbon loss from agriculture and ⅔ of its biodiversity loss occur on just ⅓ of global farmland, creating opportunities to tackle both challenges together.

THE SNP will bring forward a vote on securing a Section 30 order for a second independence referendum on the first day of the next Scottish Parliament term, John Swinney has said.
The SNP would also seek to hold a constitutional convention, and insist that powers over energy are devolved to the Scottish Parliament.

Since GitHub is pushing their unsolicited AI more aggressively, here's a class to add to uBlock Origin. This way, that unnecessary wasteful Copilot shit doesn't show up on your homepage.
You can add a filter manually with:
github.com##copilot-dashboard-entrypoint
Or do it from the extension's UI.
