    "Every year poorly equipped volunteer firefighters die protect'g their homes. Tis is te state exploit'g poor to mask its failure & desire to hold on to power.. under #Thai #law, clearing fields can bring a THB2mil fine &/or 20 years jail. They've practised tis for generations. Te #haze #crisis is recent. So what changed? Te answer lies in expansion of mass cultivation such as #sugarcane or #maize to feed voracious #agroindustries" 1/2

  10. Did #seabird poop fuel rise of #Chincha in #Peru?
    #Guano dramatically boosted the production of #maize (#corn), and this agricultural surplus crucially helped fuel the Chincha Kingdom’s economy, driving their trade, wealth, population growth and regional influence, and shaped their strategic alliance with the #Inca Empire. In ancient Andean cultures, fertiliser was power.”

  19. 5/

    "the five most important calorie crops — #rice, #wheat, #maize (corn), #soya beans and #potatoes — can be affected by #RiceBlast fungus, wheat stem rust, corn smut, soybean rust and potato late blight disease [...], respectively.

    And losses from these fungi equate to enough food to provide some 600 million to 4,000 million #people with 2,000 #calories every day for one year.

    Such losses are likely to increase in a warming world" [5]
