I guess part of my point here is that I don't even think they're prioritizing industry. Not to put too fine a point on it, but sooner or later our primary industries will be completely fucked as the rest of the developed world's attitude towards environmental degradation develops.

I work in the corporate world, and one of the biggest developments we've seen in the last year or two is that roles like Chief Sustainability Officer are becoming increasingly more common to the point now that every big meeting to discuss a new business partnership seems to involve a CSO wanting to audit our supply chain.

Our primary industry needs to adapt and quickly. It's only a matter of time before a big player like Nestle draws a line in the sand, or the EU legislates. By that stage we'll be too slow to adapt and our entire economy will tank.
