"A growing body of fiction and film ... deals with farmers' threatened way of life and their increasing unrest as a result of policies meant to curb climate change or temper its effects," writes Bartolomeo Sala in The Dial. Here's his story about "Creation Lake" by Rachel Kushner, "Cosas Vivas" by Munir Hachemi, "As Bestas," directed by Rodrigo Sorogoyen and "Alcarrás," directed by Carla Simón. "The conflict between farmers and the green transition is a new phenomenon," Sala says. "Yet the way that recent works of fiction portray this conflict often feels remarkably familiar, playing into an old idea of the countryside as a remnant bound to be destroyed by the march of progress."

This is a part of his #eugenics ideology, and it's you, the non-superrich people of the US, he wants to kill!

Climate change was responsible for just over one-third of the simultaneous soya bean crop failures across Argentina, Brazil and the US in 2012, according to a new attribution study.

It's time!
And by that I mean, not only is it springtime, and all of us in the Pacific Northwest and most of the rest of the northern hemisphere should be starting our food crops, but... it's TIME, also. As in, politically, socially, and everything-else-ally, we all need to grow some food.
