Abstract
In addition to climate change, the current planetary emergency is also triggered by significant anthropogenic modifications in the planet’s biophysical systems. The chapter covers issues related to land use, water, soil fertility, application of chemical fertilisers and impacts on biodiversity. All these problems are interrelated and manifested differently in various parts of the world. The West on the one hand has been in many ways responsible for the current planetary emergency and on the other, is well-equipped to respond to it by changing its attitude and behaviour while adopting more plant-rich food choices with lower environmental impacts.
