    "Surrounding the town of El Ejido, Almeria Province, southern Spain is a sea of greenhouses, stretching for tens of kilometers. Millions of tons of vegetables are exported to other European countries and other parts of the world. The image covers an area of 19 x 30.5 km, was acquired July 20, 2008, and is located at 36.75 degrees north latitude, 2.75 degrees west longitude."

  8. Finally, advocates say the world must recognize why their protection matters. Beyond #HumanRights, these communities play an outsized role in stabilizing the global #climate.

    “With the world under pressure from #ClimateChange, we will sink or swim together,” Bhattacharjee said.

  9. …Protecting uncontacted #IndigenousPeoples, experts say, will require both stronger laws & a shift in how the world views them — not as relics of the past, but as citizens of the planet whose survival affects everyone’s future.

    Advocates have several recommendations.

  10. A new report by #SurvivalInternational, a London-based #IndigenousRights organization, attempts one of the broadest tallies yet, identifying at least 196 #UncontactedIndigenous groups in 10 countries, primarily in South American nations sharing the #AmazonRainforest. Released Sunday, the report estimates that nearly 65% face threats from #logging, ~40% from #mining & ~20% from #agribusiness.

  11. #UncontactedIndigenous peoples & efforts to protect them

    From the depths of Brazil’s Amazon to Indonesia’s rainforests, some of the world’s most isolated peoples are being squeezed by #roads, miners & drug traffickers—a crisis unfolding far from public view or effective state protection.

  12. CW: Chattel slavery for sugar and rum 🧶

    In 1776, Scotsman Adam "Smith noted that the British West Indian sugar plantations were so profitable they their returns from rum exports, a byproduct of sugar production, paid for the entire overhead expenses of a sugar plantation. As far as Smith was concerned, this was an achievement without parallel in eighteen-century British imperial agriculture."

    (excerpt from Seymour Drescher’s book "The Mighty Experiment: Free Labor versus Slavery in British Emancipation")

  13. Regenerative agriculture was a good idea, until corporations got hold of it
    ➡️ grain.org/en/article/7067-rege
    Unilever's not alone in its promotion of #RegenerativeAgriculture. It's become a new buzzword for practically all of the world's largest food and #agribusiness companies, as well as clothing manufacturers. Most corporate regenerative agriculture schemes encourage the use of #agrotoxics for weed control as a way to increase carbon in soils by avoiding ploughing. #GreenWashing
