"Farmers will come in the pub on a Friday night and say: ‘The public don’t care as long as it’s cheap.’ Which is absolute crap. And the public will say: ‘You never see a farmer on his bike – [instead] driving around in Range Rovers shouting “get off my land!"‘ Which is also crap"
A very good article on modern farming in the UK.

Today is one of those days where I question why I even try to educate others anymore. I can't fight against the might of the discourse-shifting agricultural lobbies, fossil lovers, and such. And the discourse seems to have shifted far enough that people think there really is no alternative to the current capitalistic agricultural methods we currently exploit the planet with. They exist. And they are simple. It's just absolutely not easy.

Macron s'est empressé d'annoncer qu'il allait promulguer la loi Duplomb malgré sa censure partielle: "Le président est satisfait 'in fine' de cette décision qui conforte son bilan écologique", tente l'un de ses proches. Sans aller jusqu'à demander une deuxième délibération à l'Assemblée. Le sénateur à l'origine de la loi n'exclut pas de redéposer un nouveau texte pour autoriser l’acétamipride. "Une provocation", fulmine un élu écolo
