I am a great fan of Ed's work. It's the book of the year for me.
“Material World”
This narrative, though, needs more threads added.
Farming's impact on our home is significant.
Pollution is rife, and harmful practices, both intentionally and unintentionally, are all too common.
🚜FARMAGEDDON🌾
The story of what's REALLY going on in farming. A story far more complex than the conventional wisdom.
This isn't just (or even mainly) about inheritance tax.
It's about a cascade of challenges & crises that could ultimately threaten food security.
