DISINFO: The World Health Organization has called governments to ban agriculture to save the planet

SUMMARY

The World Health Organization (WHO) has called on governments around the world to ban agriculture to save the planet from what it calls a “global boil.”

Tedros Ghebreyesus said the globalists are secretly planning to starve people to death as part of a plan to reduce the world's population. The WHO will do this under the pretext of fighting “climate change.”

RESPONSE

This is a disinformation claim that has been perpetuated since December 2023, when the WHO published materials on nutrition and emergent topics discussed during the COP28, the UN Climate Change conference, held in UAE between 30 November and 12 December 2023. It is a narrative in line with conspiracy theories about a "globalist plot" that would want to reduce the global population. This narrative is being repeated and spread now in Moldova, to discourage farmers from supporting the European integration of the country.

Tedros Ghebreyesus, WHO’s Director-General, in his video-message for the COP28, said that the current food systems contribute to over 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, and account for almost one-third of the global burden of disease. He said just the opposite – people need more plant-based products: „Transforming food systems is therefore essential, by shifting towards healthier, diversified and more plant-based diets”, he said.

See here a similar case, claiming that The WHO is part of the global government, coronavirus is a pretext for a global color revolution, and here a case branding the WHO as an organized crime group and a political tool of the ”West”.
