Very good article in Portuguese regarding food colonialism
The “debt of hunger” that devastates the South

We need to understand how debt captures wealth and dismantles food systems in the global South. Dependent on dollars to pay it off, states give in to extractivism and cut social spending. How can we build a large movement to overturn this form of colonialism?

A local food charity was asking about what kind of platforms might be available instead of Instaram?

I don't have good answers; except that as we have seen in the research that you must stay on instagram but create an alternative home which has all of the functionality you need and then point people from the place you dislike, towards the spaces you like

Within reason, of course.

Has anyone here has cause to develop food pantry communication systems?

Hey, you! Yes, YOU! Are you planting a garden and a couple fruit trees yet? Even if you rent a townhouse, you can use big pots on your porch. And learn to cook. Because the US govt is cutting 3500 more FDA jobs as well as 2400 at CDC... and these people keep infant formula, farm pesticides, meat packing plants, and bird flu from being even more unsafe than they already are.

This is an interesting article, worth a full read, on an aspect of Climate not always talked about in much detail.

«… The drying out of soil “increases the severity and frequency” of major droughts …, explains Dr Benjamin Cook, an … Earth system scientist … “Droughts are one of the most impactful, expensive natural hazards out there, because they are typically persistent and long lasting. Everything needs water – ecosystems need water, agriculture needs water. People need water. If you don’t have enough water – you’re in trouble.” … The study points to two factors driving gradual depletion of soil moisture over the last quarter century: fluctuations to rainfall patterns and increasing “evaporative demand”. … the atmosphere’s “thirst” for water …»

When I read about these things, I think of the danger to the food system and human society. It saddens me beyond measure that we've got a society run by capitalists who, like locusts, just want to efficiently consume every last resource the planet has to offer with no apparent regard for the future.

The article also mentions it will be expensive, though. Does that matter to any of you capitalists? I know risk of societal collapse is not a worthy concern to you, just something to monetize. But it could affect prices along the way. Is THAT perhaps a concern, at least? Sigh.
