"Radical farm innovations", "amazing new farming systems", and allied "new models" (often social) - which while they are very alluring - with all due respect have often been very "dense reading" or "recondite" (deep thought/difficult details/and hard to pin down) - and actually proved to be (or in their outcomes were) exploits by what were, effectively, gangster memes. Would love to discuss if you have questions (you're welcome to get in touch via csfi, to whom many tks). But Ms V Shiva for example - paid 35k for a lecture I believe, by Harvard for a reason - declines to engage with questions or provide any proof other than that which is linked to ppl who use any means (as above), as well as disseminates some outrageous provocations.
