The World Bank has issued a directive to Western nations to completely abolish farming in order to achieve net zero emissions by 2030. The plan includes closing down farms globally and placing them under the control of a few World Economic Forum (WEF) Young Global Leaders, such as Bill Gates, who will then "radically alter the way food is grown."

According to a memo from the World Bank, the elimination of traditional farming and a significant reduction in food production will help combat "global boiling."

“While the food on your table may taste good, it is also a hefty slice of the climate change emissions pie,” said Axel van Trostenburg of the World Bank.

Naturalnews.com reports that the global food system can heal the planet by making soils, ecosystems, and people healthier, while keeping carbon in the ground. However, countries must act now. Changing how middle-income countries use land, such as forests and ecosystems, for food production can cut agrifood emissions by a third by 2030, the report states.

Instead of promoting diverse agricultural practices that local family farmers have been perfecting for centuries—practices that are beneficial to the environment—the World Bank proposes eliminating agriculture entirely in some areas. This push has already been observed in the Netherlands and other parts of Western Europe.

The World Bank’s plan calls for a comprehensive approach to reducing emissions in food systems, including fertilizers and energy, crop and livestock production, and packaging and distribution across the value chain from farm to table.

The organization acknowledges the financial aspect of its proposal, noting that annual investments need to increase to $260 billion a year to cut agrifood emissions in half by 2030 and to reach net zero emissions by 2050. These investments could lead to more than $4 trillion in benefits, including improvements in human health, food and nutrition security, better quality jobs and profits for farmers, and more carbon retained in forests and soils.

Critics warn of the potential risks associated with this ambitious project. “Ultimately, the World Bank’s ambitious project to restructure global agriculture underestimates the risks of unintended consequences, including food shortages, economic disruption, and increased hardship for the most vulnerable,” said Watts Up With That.
