@ordinoides I had thought about making #BlueCorn muffins with #Blueberries! With local #MapleSyrup for sweetening!

I don’t know who needs to know this but I may have exceeded my maximum daily allowance of blueberries. 🫐
No regrets!

Traumatic landscapes of plastic, pollution and exploitation
The coastline of Spain is known as the ‘Sea of Plastic’ ("Mar de Plástico”) It is the world’s largest plastic greenhouse complex with 350 square km of fruit and vegetables grown by immigrant labour for the horticultural industry. >>

NSW Greens to move bill to let councils better regulate berry industry as it continues rapid expansion“People move into these beautiful valleys for the lifestyle and the environment but then wake up one day and within months they are looking at an industrial-scale blueberry farm."
"Faehrmann’s bill will call for mandated buffers between intensive horticulture farms and homes and waterways, as well as strict controls on spraying, runoff and irrigation and greater monitoring of produce for pesticides."
"Blueberry farming is rapidly expanding beyond Coffs Harbour, where it began several decades ago, into the Nambucca Valley and the Kempsey area to the south, and west toward Grafton and Bellingen."

UK blueberries under threat as farmers give up.
“British blueberry growers are grubbing up blueberry orchards or giving away fruit to charity as prices from supermarkets and growing competition from Peru have made it too difficult to continue.”

I actually had no idea they grew them on that scale in the UK. But this is really sad 😕
