I found this NYT article ("Sorry, but this is the future of food") to be very problematic. For starters, Grunwald misrepresents the situation in Sri Lanka and their so-called organic experiment. See @nethmisachy.bsky.social & I's article for a different perspective: news.mongabay.com/2022/08/draw...

Really grateful to the wonderful Social Scientists’ Association in Colombo for the opportunity to ramble and attempt to make sense of what I’ve been up to for the last 7-8 months :)
