Comment on It is very therapeutic to garden, though.
antidote101@lemmy.world 6 months agoHonestly, you don’t have to do much to villainize some aspects of industrial farming. It’s mostly only possible due to the haber-bosch nitrogenation process, which was invented by the same guy who invented chemical warfare, and the process itself uses lots of petrochemicals and dumps a lot of nitrogen into the natural environment. That’s not even getting into the use of migrant workers, or the patenting of dna over some crops, and the food monopolies that exist in some countries.
I also don’t think it’s a case of “there can be only one system”… And I don’t run into a lot of people saying that.
For myself, this isn’t one of the more pressing issues in the world. I don’t really think people have enough land to be able to be self-sufficient, but gardening is a nice hobby.
Food markets vary from nation to nation, and have political aspects I’m fairly disinterested in, so can’t really comment on that.
Bye!
