Agroforestry involves growing trees alongside agricultural and horticultural crops, which can enhance ecosystem health and, in turn, increase food production
In certain cases, ProVeg Brazil found that pivoting away from livestock farming could lead to an income increase of up to 1,525 percent, particularly in biodiverse countries with high incomes and ready access to “specialized markets”

There is a movement to "prove that the datacenter water issues is fake". If you venture into Muskrat's hell site, you can see the community note these people put on this great piece of investigative journalism, accusing them of unfairly implicating datacenters.

"It never occurred to Doherty that his effort to fix the #water problem would provoke the ire of a group of local officials who resented scrutiny of their role in the #pollution. That it would end his political career, tank his cattle sales, and cause him so much stress he’d lose 50 pounds".

Despite International Maritime Organisation regulation setting limits to merchant marine air pollution (emissions), it seems on the basis of ship-by-ship research that many ships in international waters are nowhere need meeting these regulatory limits.
