The #AngloSaxon capitalist model ruined earth for humanity and many other species. #BigOil has been its undertaker, b/c #BigOilKnew.
If capitalism hadn't made the #GreenRevolution possible, human society would already have reached the #overshoot (1) point at the end of the last century:
In 1968, the #biologists Paul and Anne #Ehrlich wrote the book The #PopulationBomb"...
I agree. A second #GreenRevolution is direly needed. Probably even the only way out to preserve the current societies and reign in the #ClimateCatastrophy.
Systemic thinking and integrated approaches are of the essence.
I had hoped to read about #Agrivoltaics, #WaruWaru and #Camellones. Alas, still none of these terms even appear in the "GLOBAL POLICY REPORT:
The Economics of the Food System Transformation".
A couple of days ago, @breadandcircuses wrote an article about #degrowth, in which he correctly describes how 👉the global economic system must be radically altered ("transitioned away from #capitalism👈," he calls it.)
On top of this, however, this transition must include an agricultural revolution that embraces extensive use of #agrivoltaics + #WaruWaru for a 2nd #GreenRevolution...
The ability to cooperate showed up at some point in our evolution and enabled us to become what we are now. The eat other things aspect of our evolution is deep and remains alongside the cooperation, in varying balances. Seems like it is related to our predation on each other, our subjugation of others for profit and pleasure.
...in order to save humanity, we must not only exponentially increase our efforts to decarbonize our society, but also to have a second #GreenRevolution.
Now I know, we have been messing with our oceans, too, maybe even beyond repair beyond the children of #GenerationAlpha, but maybe there is to solution to the food problem by focusing on #algae and the like:
Yes, I was quite angry, when I read it. We could've head a second #GreenRevolution FOUR DECADES ago.
But it gets even better than that. We could have had an agricultural revolution for arid landscapes outside of the #Andean regions 490 years ago: in 1532 the conquistador Francisco #Pizarro captured the Sapa #Inca#Atahualpa#Cajamarca. A year later, the #Spaniards could have told the #ReyesCatólicos of #Spain about the advanced...
