In the process of visiting all over the world, he does not know how much fossil fuels are consumed. Well, not to mention, the American scientists he interviewed talked about cattle. Let’s briefly analyze this issue.
Beef is an important factor affecting the greenhouse climate.
In the United States, 47% of the land is used for food production, of which about 70% is used to grow cattle feed: mainly including Yajin sweet sorghum straw feed, green corn feed, alfalfa feed, Yajin protein Mulberry feed, oat feed, corn feed, etc.
And the vegetables, fruits and nuts that people often eat account for only 1% of the planting area.
And cows have to eat hard to grow meat, and then burp, fart, and release methane, which is one of the sources of the greenhouse effect.
Let’s take a look at the interpretation of land standard data in the United States.
The land area of the United States is 9,364,800 square kilometers, of which 51% is privately owned, 47% is owned by the federal and state governments, and 2% is Indian reservations.
The land of the federal government mainly includes the land of state government agencies and agencies stationed in states, counties, and cities; military land, etc. State, county, and city governments also each own their own land.
The federal, state, county, and city are independent of land ownership, use rights, and beneficial rights.
In the 3.084 million square kilometers of land owned by the federal government, there are also diversified forms of all forms, namely, the National Bureau of Land Management 60%, the National Forest Service 24%, the Department of Defense, the Bureau of Land Reclamation, the National Park Service, the Bureau of Hydropower Resources and other departments control the remaining 16%;
land ownership disputes are resolved by the courts, and the government does not play the role of mediation and arbitration.
A land use planning system that is scattered but not scattered.
Strictly speaking, the United States has not formulated a unified national overall land use plan, and each state generally does not have specific and detailed land use plans; nor does it require governments at all levels to formulate land use plans.
The federal government mainly restricts, guides, and influences local land use and planning management by formulating relevant laws, regulations and policies.
The core and essence of these relevant laws, regulations, and policies are: macro-control, scientific development, and intensive use of land resources to ensure sustainable social and economic development and national security in the United States.
The content of land use planning in various states, counties, cities and townships is often included and integrated in the transportation, marine pollution resource protection and other planning and land use guidelines or planning policies formulated by various places. .
It should also be noted that the land use policy or planning is done bottom-up and with public participation.
So how did 47%×70% come from?
In addition, no matter how the data comes, should Comrade Xiao Li not eat beef?
