“When you compare that to the hundreds of millions of people who are struggling with rolling #blackouts, with #electricity curbs, #rationing, waiting in line for #food queues, or the disruption to #fertilizers & the potential impact that that has on food #prices, we don’t think that it’s a justifiable price for the rest of the world to be paying,” Galey added.

RE: https://scicomm.xyz/@tfardet/109370756100378256

Yesterday's presentation at #PintOfScience was very nice, but it reminded me again how little press most agricultural and food topics get (unless there's a trendy new sanitary issue).

So it just made me feel like boosting this old thread and my presentation at the Fediverse Solstice School again, in case anyone wants to read about sustainable agriculture and fertilization.
