🏙️ On today’s episode we will discuss about some more fundamental questions that are looking how capitalism and rationalism has altered our relationship with Nature, which in turn is responsible for current environmental crises.
In other words we will look whether the duality of Nature and Society which we always use as a given to account for resource use and pollution emissions is actually one of the root causes for situation we’re in.
Difficile en tant que Guadeloupéen de regarder ce docu sur les difficultés rencontrées par les pêcheurs espagnols avec les algues, sans penser à ce que les #antilles connaissent avec les sargasses mm si les origines diffèrent (Amazonie VS Asie?) #écologie
Une étude (2019) parlait pour la #Caraïbe de phénomène "connecté à deux facteurs : d'une part, la hausse de la déforestation et de l'utilisation d'engrais en Amazonie à partir de 2009 et d'autre part, des courants ascendants venus d'Afrique de l'Ouest."

Yes, domestication, institutional breeding, and biotech all involve genetic and phenotypic changes, but while domestication is a diffuse coevolutionary process, commercial breeding and biotech have focused overwhelmingly on crops and traits that return capital #capitalocene
Crop breeding institutions in the 20th century made it possible to alienate farmers from new plant varieties, a process legally and materially intensified by commercial biotechnology. Globally, currently planted traits are overwhelmingly pest/herbicide resistant commodity crops
