It is deeply depressing to know that there is enough food produced to feed the world at least three times over but that someone dies of hunger like every four seconds because they gotta keep those prices up.
With Indigenous agroforestry practices we could actually reduce agricultural exploitation, while simultaneously increasing soil richness, fixing more carbon and feeding the world.
The fact that this playbook was developed during the early days of the enclosures:
"In September 1565, in Antwerp, "while the poor were literally starving in the streets," a warehouse collapsed under the weight of the grain packed in it (Hackett Fischer 1996:88)."
Bands of wandering, starved workers staging raids on grain-sheds packed to bursting with food being hoarded for market speculation. Can't wait to relive the post-Black Death era next summer with you all <3
