page 564 panel a - oh dear, a deer. Two deer.
You know that feeling of starting awake in a dungeon, cold wet stone stabbing into your back, your neck so stiff you wonder if you'll ever lift your head again, the space so dark you wonder if you've lifted your head even now, and blasting through your brain like a spear thrust of fire -- I AM NOT TRYING TO EAT THE ASS OF ALL HUMAN HISTORY.
I must have been thinking about AI again, like all the entombed dungeon dwellers of old; the Duke of Rothesay, the Count of Monte Cristo, Anne Boleyn.

Food as You Know It Is About to Change. (New York Times Op-Ed)
Tumblr media
From the vantage of the American supermarket aisle, the modern food system looks like a kind of miracle. Everything has been carefully cultivated for taste and convenience — even those foods billed as organic or heirloom — and produce regarded as exotic luxuries just a few generations ago now seems more like staples, available on demand: avocados, mangoes, out-of-season blueberries imported from Uruguay.
But the supermarket is also increasingly a diorama of the fragility of a system — disrupted in recent years by the pandemic, conflict and, increasingly, climate change. What comes next? Almost certainly, more disruptions and more hazards, enough to remake the whole future of food.
The world as a whole is already facing what the Cornell agricultural economist Chris Barrett calls a “food polycrisis.” Over the past decade, he says, what had long been reliable global patterns of year-on-year improvements in hunger first stalled and then reversed. Rates of undernourishment have grown 21 percent since 2017. Agricultural yields are still growing, but not as quickly as they used to and not as quickly as demand is booming. Obesity has continued to rise, and the average micronutrient content of dozens of popular vegetables has continued to fall. The food system is contributing to the growing burden of diabetes and heart disease and to new spillovers of infectious diseases from animals to humans as well.
And then there are prices. Worldwide, wholesale food prices, adjusted for inflation, have grown about 50 percent since 1999, and those prices have also grown considerably more volatile, making not just markets but the whole agricultural Rube Goldberg network less reliable. Overall, American grocery prices have grown by almost 21 percent since President Biden took office, a phenomenon central to the widespread perception that the cost of living has exploded on his watch. Between 2020 and 2023, the wholesale price of olive oil tripled; the price of cocoa delivered to American ports jumped by even more in less than two years. The economist Isabella Weber has proposed maintaining the food equivalent of a strategic petroleum reserve, to buffer against shortages and ease inevitable bursts of market chaos.
Price spikes are like seismographs for the food system, registering much larger drama elsewhere — and sometimes suggesting more tectonic changes underway as well. More than three-quarters of the population of Africa, which has already surpassed one billion, cannot today afford a healthy diet; this is where most of our global population growth is expected to happen this century, and there has been little agricultural productivity growth there for 20 years. Over the same time period, there hasn’t been much growth in the United States either.
Though American agriculture as a whole produces massive profits, Mr. Barrett says, most of the country’s farms actually lose money, and around the world, food scarcity is driving record levels of human displacement and migration. According to the World Food Program, 282 million people in 59 countries went hungry last year, 24 million more than the previous year. And already, Mr. Barrett says, building from research by his Cornell colleague Ariel Ortiz-Bobea, the effects of climate change have reduced the growth of overall global agricultural productivity by between 30 and 35 percent. The climate threats to come loom even larger.
It can be tempting, in an age of apocalyptic imagination, to picture the most dire future climate scenarios: not just yield declines but mass crop failures, not just price spikes but food shortages, not just worsening hunger but mass famine. In a much hotter world, those will indeed become likelier, particularly if agricultural innovation fails to keep pace with climate change; over a 30-year time horizon, the insurer Lloyd’s recently estimated a 50 percent chance of what it called a “major” global food shock.
But disruption is only half the story and perhaps much less than that. Adaptation and innovation will transform the global food supply, too. At least to some degree, crops such as avocados or cocoa, which now regularly appear on lists of climate-endangered foodstuffs, will be replaced or redesigned. Diets will shift, and with them the farmland currently producing staple crops — corn, wheat, soy, rice. The pressure on the present food system is not a sign that it will necessarily fail, only that it must change. Even if that progress does come to pass, securing a stable and bountiful future for food on a much warmer planet, what will it all actually look like?

don't know how to say this in a nice way but. the food recalls we're having? the shortages of (and high prices) of eggs due to bird flu? they're not JUST because of lax regulations under trump though they are. they're also because animal agriculture when done intensively is fraught with risk and because we literally don't have the space to sustain ourselves like this. and some of us are so privileged by the fact that this global clusterfuck of a food system we have is designed to feed the western empire that they don't realise how bad it is
I know going vegan or even eating less meat is not possible for many people but i am BEGGING you to please, let's all collectively get our heads out of our asses and realise for one more time that just because individual behaviour does very little it doesn't mean that there isn't a LOT of collective action and systemic change that needs to happen. because nutritious food from plants should be cheap and easy to access but it isn't! because animal products, despite taking a lot more resources to get to the point of consumption are heavily subsidised. because our whole food system is based on competition rather than making sure everyone gets enough to survive, starting with the most vulnerable who aren't going to have as many options as the rest of us.

As the world races to meet net-zero targets, emissions from all industrial sectors must be reduced more urgently than ever. Agriculture is an important area of focus as it contributes up to 22% of global greenhouse gas emissions – almost as much as the energy sector. One approach to decarbonising the agricultural sector is agrivoltaics. It involves integrating solar panels – or photovoltaics (PVs) – into fields of crops, greenhouses and livestock areas, which can help farmers reduce their carbon footprint while continuing to produce food. Agrivoltaics can also mitigate one of the main criticisms often made of solar power – that solar farms “waste” vast tracts of agricultural land that could otherwise be used for food production. In reality, solar farms currently occupy only 0.15% of the UK’s total land – not much compared to its 70% agricultural land. The simplest example of an agrivoltaic system would be conventional, crystalline silicon PVs (the market-leading type of solar panels), installed in fields alongside livestock. This method of farm diversification has become increasingly popular in recent years for three main reasons. First, it enhances biodiversity as the fields are not seeing a regular crop rotation, being monocultured, or being harvested for silage. Second, it increases production as livestock benefit from the shade and the healthier pasture growth. Finally, the solar farm has reduced maintenance costs because livestock can keep the grass short. All this is achieved while the solar panels provide locally-generated, clean energy.

I think my biggest question for the whole trigun universe is how so many goddamn pianos made it into space. My second question is about Knives’ pipe organ on a spaceship

Crossbreeding plants, veggies, and produce has been a thing for centuries, but a lot of people seem to mistake those practices with being exclusively associated with non organic and gmo stuff which is unfortunate and also confusing.
Like... lemons and large corn don't come from nature my guys... we did that... but they're not tainted because we did that.
They're tainted because of capitalism.

why did someone. to my face. just defend the ‘honey is not vegan’ argument by saying “yeah but honestly it’s commonly known to vegans that the honey bees that are used for mass produced honey aren’t native to a lot of the places they’re farmed so it’s just another animal product doing damage to the-”
PLEASEEEEEEE look at me right now and tell me that the millions of acres of soy beans in the midwest are a nonharmful fully native peace and love product. tell me that with a straight face.
