Or we could stop force farming and overloading the soil with ferts, and go back to crop rotation with letting sections lay fallow.
and lower profits?!Agroecology is the most important change to the food system to make sure we have enough food in the future, and most people either don’t know about it or prefer monocultures because they are slaves to yield.
As a gardener I think polyculture farming is so exciting too! And pretty! I get such good results from companion planting, but you can’t harvest a three sisters garden with farming equipment so the industrial farmers don’t care.
Industrial farmers can still use crop rotation (but they don’t care)
That’s cool but there’s no way that’s sustainable for a modern economy…
We already make enough food. Think about how much food you’d save just by telling McDonald’s to fuck off and actually sustainably growing food instead of using X amount of land to make “the perfect French fry”
Vegetable aren’t “losing nutrients”, they have the same amount as they always did - they’re just increasingly bred to be larger so the average concentration of micronutrients goes down.
It’s the same for CO2 increases for crops that respond by getting bigger.
this is one of those r/collapse things i’ve been hearing about for years that scares the shit out of me
since it’s the higher CO2 levels there’s nothing you can do besides make some kind of “Earth: 1800” sealed greenhouse
and of course whatever tech they are proposing i don’t trust for shit
Oh yeah?
Well the higher CO2 levels also mean you are getting less oxygen per lungful of air and the concentration of CO2 in your blood is higher.
That effects athleticism, but more importantly that impacts your brain. Slower thought processes, more forgetfulness, sleepiness, and more!
It gets better - the CO2 concentrations are already elevated in buildings with poor circulation, so offices and schools and such, and as atmospheric CO2 increases that also even further increases the elevated CO2 indoors. That impacts our work and education at the same time!
Isn’t the future cool? 🙃
The rich will have indoor CO2 purifiers, and the poor will have socialism or barbarism
Western leftists would rather bring back Pepsi 1893 with extra CO2.
The vegetables are vaxxed?
Wait til you learn what they’re trying to do with eggplants and peaches.
Training them to use needles to vaxx us?
Can someone please explain to me why literally EVERYTHING is getting worse? Like even the fugking vegetables have less vegetable in them now. What???
all the “critiques” offered in this article are groundless and looney.
