About this listen
In this illuminating episode of Capital Wasteland, we take a deep dive into the heart of agriculture and its profound effects on our environment. Agriculture has sustained human civilization for millennia, but it also stands as one of the most significant contributors to today's environmental challenges.
Join us as we explore the intricate relationship between farming practices, land use, and our planet's health. We'll uncover the hidden truths behind modern agriculture, discussing topics like monoculture, pesticide use, and soil degradation.
Richard goes on a random tangent about the Providence River in Rhode Island and all the fish dying in it. As well as rants about paying farmers more to keep their farms out of the hands of greedy corporations: Because when there is nothing left to eat... the poor will eat the rich. We talk about crop rotation and why it is necessary as well as Stardew Valley!
