Climate change was responsible for just over one-third of the simultaneous soya bean crop failures across Argentina, Brazil and the US in 2012, according to a new attribution study.

Soya is one of the “big four” staple crops – along with maize, rice and wheat – that together comprise almost 65% of global calories consumed and 45% of the world’s planted farmlands.

The world’s wealthiest nations are “exporting extinction” by destroying 15 times more biodiversity internationally than within their own borders.

Most wildlife habitats are being destroyed in countries with tropical forest, with wealthy countries’ demand for products such as beef, palm oil, timber and soya beans destroying biodiversity hotspots elsewhere.
