Hello.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

Any consideration of Sustainable Food Systems need to be prefaced with the basic information that 99% of food comes from soil and that 98% of biodiversity is on land, not in oceans. At the same time the greatest, yet most ignored, environmental issue is loss of precious topsoil at a rate of 2,000 tonnes per second.

Rebuilding topsoil by preventing erosion and recycling all organic matter via earthworms is the most sensible and effective solution.

Please find my recent review paper (or just look at the graphics) - https://www.mdpi.com/2571-8789/2/4/64 .
