I know a lot of people like to headcanon that Thedas is in the same universe as Mass Effect, but I genuinely think that Thedas could be a continent in the southern hemisphere of Coda, while Bastion is a continent in the northern hemisphere. And across the sea in the far east, are the puppet masters, beings known as both the Executors and the Shapers, depending on which continent you hail from.

Anyway, at some point I want to make a long list of all the reasons I think this is plausible, but I need to do more research first.

That said, there’s no reason that Coda couldn’t have originally been in the Mass Effect universe, at least before the first cataclysm removed the planet from space and time.

From ancient fertilizer methods in Zimbabwe to new greenhouse technology in Somalia, farmers across the heavily agriculture-reliant African continent are looking to the past and future to respond to climate change.

Zimbabwe

A patch of green vegetables is thriving in a small garden the 65-year-old Tshuma is keeping alive with homemade organic manure and fertilizer. Previously discarded items have again become priceless.

“This is how our fathers and forefathers used to feed the earth and themselves before the introduction of chemicals and inorganic fertilizers,” Tshuma said.

He applies livestock droppings, grass, plant residue, remains of small animals, tree leaves and bark, food scraps and other biodegradable items like paper. Even the bones of animals that are dying in increasing numbers due to the drought are burned before being crushed into ash for their calcium.

Somalia

Greenhouses are changing the way some people live, with shoppers filling up carts with locally produced vegetables and traditionally nomadic pastoralists under pressure to settle down and grow crops.

“They are organic, fresh and healthy,” shopper Sucdi Hassan said in the capital, Mogadishu. “Knowing that they come from our local farms makes us feel secure.”

The greenhouses also create employment in a country where about 75% of the population is people under 30 years old, many of them jobless.

Kenya

In Kenya, a new climate-smart bean variety is bringing hope to farmers in a region that had recorded reduced rainfall in six consecutive rainy seasons.

The variety, called “Nyota” or “star” in Swahili, is the result of a collaboration between scientists from the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization, the Alliance of Bioversity International and research organization International Center for Tropical Agriculture.

The new bean variety is tailored for Kenya’s diverse climatic conditions. One focus is to make sure drought doesn’t kill them off before they have time to flourish.

--------

Other moves to traditional practices are under way. Drought-resistant millets, sorghum and legumes, staples until the early 20th century when they were overtaken by exotic white corn, have been taking up more land space in recent years.

Leaves of drought-resistant plants that were once a regular dish before being cast off as weeds are returning to dinner tables. They even appear on elite supermarket shelves and are served at classy restaurants, as are millet and sorghum.

This could create markets for the crops even beyond drought years

Fortree city / route 120 number one forever!!! 🤘🤘🤘

Did you know that those massive and beautiful puddles are actually the side effect of a huge deforestation effort that cut Fortree's population nearly in half? They should not be there!

That is floodwater besties. Stop posting about it on ur pinchurinest like it's some #aesthetic natural wonder. We have been trying to reforest that area to prevent these floods but nooooo everyone on social media has to scream about how ~pretty~ it is.

Anyway that's neither here nor there. Rainforest biome of Northeastern Hoenn is number one. We have some of the most impressive bioversity in our pokemon and the REMAINING trees. Beautiful. All natural. Nature, wow 🖤

I'm also not an oceanologist or whatever, but I did one time get to try out the Union's marine equipment to help out some marine rangers and wow holy shit the ocean floor is stunning. Its basically a different type of forest, all that plant life and pokemon and the coral. Wow.

I also would be remiss if I didn't mention meteor falls. I wasn't afraid of caves back in Hoenn so I did get to see them on a couple stretch assignments. I'm even less of a...rock person than I am an ocean person so I truly have NO clue what is going on there but they are stunning and unique. Everyone say thank you to the Draconid people for saving it from Devon Corp.

Also shout out to Petalburg woods. They are also trying to recover their forest after the old growth was cut down and replaced with fast growing timber pines. Admittedly not a ton going on in that forest, comparatively, but she still deserves her flowers.

The desert, volcano, meadow, beach, and marsh lands are also all cool. They're no rainforest or ocean or massive grotto, but they are also all beautiful and unique. Hoenn 🖤
