Well, they aren't trying to starve us we have had bumper crops of soybeans and corn.

BTW the World Bank doesn't want to end farming it supposedly it wants to increase sustainability, like lowering the use of fertilizers and lowering it's runoff into our lakes streams rivers, and oceans. If true thats not a bad thing.

We can argue the WB is misrepresenting their position, but it's disingenuous to represent thier actual public opinion as anything other what it actually is

The article states, “The World Bank has issued a notice to western nations that they must completely abolish farming in order to achieve ‘net zero emissions’ by the year 2030. The plan involves closing down the world’s farms and placing them all under the control of a handful of WEF Young Global Leaders, such as Bill Gates, who will then ‘radically alter the way food is grown.'"

Similar claims were also shared on Facebook.

Our rating: False
The claim misrepresents a World Bank report that calls for increased investment in sustainable agricultural practices. It is not a treaty, nor does it call for the end of farming. The article comes from a website that regularly publishes false information.

Serial misinformation spreader misrepresents report

The article focuses on a World Bank report titled “Recipe for a Livable Planet: Achieving Net Zero Emissions in the Agrifood System,” which calls for greener and more sustainable agriculture practices. It holds there are “affordable and readily available measures that can cut nearly a third of the world’s planet heating emissions while ensuring global food security.”

NAPERVILLE, Illinois, June 10 (Reuters) - The U.S. corn and soybean crops are in great shape early in the growing season, and although there is plenty of time for fortune to turn, this year’s harvest is already in good company.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Monday pegged 72% of U.S. soybeans as being in good or excellent health, in the agency’s first assessment of the season. That was in line with trade expectations and is above the 10-year average for initial soy ratings of 68%.

So likely what’s probably closer to the truth is that the New World Order wants to shut down the smaller ranches and farms while the likes of Gates and the big agri businesses like Con Agra will stay in business.
Con Agra is a true oligopoly ( for the person somewhere in these threads who complained we are an oligarchy), not to mention that China has been buying up land in the US through shell companies, so local ranchers looking to sell won’t even know who
It is they are really selling to.

While China is busy buying up agricultural land in the US, ConAgra bought up some Chinese stuff www.foodbusinessnews.net...#:~:text=OMAHA%2520%E2%80%94%2520ConAgra%2520Foods%2520has%2520opened ,demand%2520for%2520frozen%2520potato%2520products.
Maybe that is really the goal of so called free trade agreements. Nothing is sovereign anymore.

I didn't think the US did free range, or at least their version of free range is a lot different from UK/Europe standards with a lot of dangerous chemicals involved like arsenic (used to make chicken look fresh) - hence the ban on US meats.

Please post a link to arsenic being used to make chicken look fresh. Never heard of that, and found nothing about it in search.

I did find that a feed additive (Roxarsone) containing organic arsenic was discontinued in 2011, but it didn't have anything to do with making chickens look fresh, it was an additive used to kill parasites and promote growth. Snopes checked out the arsenic claims, here's their article on it:

The FDA announced in 2011 that Pfizer would discontinue sales of an arsenic-containing feed additive.

Even before 2011, it sounds like the concern was inorganic arsenic accumulating in the chicken livers. I used to love to eat fried chicken livers but I stopped eating them due to concerns about what might be accumulating in them. I doubt you'll find much arsenic in US chickens during the past decade, since that feed additive was discontinued in 2011.

Happening too often to be a coincidence. Feathers, feed dust and chicken poop is a highly flammable mix. Doesn't take much.
