Just Stop Eating.
And Lizzo should be first to do so, Comrade!
Now, of course, Blud, Boden und Biden…
So your Blut gets plowed into the Boden?? And no doubt your flesh’ll also be recycled as long pig. No I don’t think the lions should get them Steve. I think you’ll need to eat them yourselves.
Both Stalin and Mao introduced wonderful centralised plans to control agriculture. And totally buggered things up. Now the EU has decided this works so wonderfully that they’ll try it as well.
“So your Blut gets plowed into the Boden??”
Definitely not. That contravenes EU Directive No 2754527854785 on the disposal of Abattoir Waste Products……..also ploughing is now forbidden under EU Directive No 956735217847847 on Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Farming. All crops must be direct drilled only.
“Just Stop Eating”
When there’s little food available (thanks to these idiotic plans) it will occur naturally…
. . . global heating.
This inflation affects everything.
Jim @ 9.49, have been watching Clarksons Farm on the box. Seeing the bureaucracy and mind numbing level of regulation involved in doing anything, i’m amazed so few farmers top themselves……
Let’s engineer photochromic soil – turns a reflective white in direct sun to send the rays back to space, black in cooler months when we want the little seeds to warm and germinate.
Or just adapt rather than mitigate

Here’s one who just has:

He developed a process of recycling the waste shells from the shell fishing industry into fertiliser/soil improver, but the EA declared it was ‘toxic waste’ and prosecuted him for it spreading it on his land.
Always remember the fascist roots of this obsession with the soil and with intensive farming …

I thought there were photos somewhere? of Norman churches which had been built at the same level or higher than the surrounding land, which are now about 12 feet below the surrounding land as testimony to 1000 years of arable farming & the destruction it wrecks on the soil – err!
“global heating”: I see that “warming” isn’t scary enough. Prefer enmildening m’self. Would “tepiding” do?
@Boganboy – “Both Stalin and Mao introduced wonderful centralised plans to control agriculture.”
That was a long time ago, so people have forgotten (or think they can now do better). For a modern example, see Sri Lanka.
