I hate that i cant find anywhere studies that takes the manure used as a fertilizer account in their calculations. Atleast where i live 100% of the manure from the animals is used as a fertilizer on farms and store bought fertilizers are just supplement. Most countries cant produce fertilizer enough for their agricultural need and need to buy it from outside.

I would love some real research wich would be better for the enivorent. Stop meat produsing completelly or scale it down so farms get still some benefits like fertilizer and biogas for the vehicles, but people would not eat food on every meal.

Im not geneticist, but i grew up on a farm. I always grind my teeth when people talk about miragle plants with high yields.

The plants need to get their energy and nutritions from somewhere. If you just create gmo plant that can absorb nutrition better from soil it also means you need to fertilize that soil that much more and make the crop rotation that much faster, or risk making the fields arid.

But plants that survive larger temperature shifts, more extreme weathers and pest might be necessary for us in the not so far future. Lets just hope in the future those are used for humanitys betterment and not making rich richer.

I mean there probably are lots of reasons why we farm only certain plants.

For example dewberries have short harvest window and as far as i know they need to be hand picked.

Hi from Finland.

We have mandatory conspriction for men here, but everybody have option to serve civilian service instead where you basically work free for job goverment orders. Idea being if you dont fight in war you will have basic knowledge for some non fighting role during war time.

You get small pay during this and goverment pays your rent during the civilian service.

Personally i think its great system for a country that has unreliable and potentially hostile neighbor with large standing army and long border.

I feel like a relic…

I used to have disc with kickstart that i needed to use so my computer would boot.

When some old camry drives by and you feel like exhaust gas is choking your throat, that just the dinosaur ghost in the fossilfuels haunting you.
