Another round: The problem with George Monbiot's solution to the climate crisis
Published 2 years, 7 months ago
Description
Recent crises have exposed the weaknesses of globalisation and its hyper-extended supply chains. These shocks will only increase in frequency as climate change further destabilises the planet, inducing famines and the mass movement of people escaping extreme weather events.
Human activity is the root cause of these problems - including the industrialised way in which we farm.
Chris Smaje proposes agrarian localism as a radical alternative: the construction of many, many small-holdings across the UK, with enough land to grow food and raise livestock for the people that live in them.
