I just finished the novel The Dark Forest (2008), the second book in the the Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy (book one is famous The Three Body Problem).
This story has effected me greatly. I’m feeling very contemplative now.
Maybe I’ll write a review after reading the last book.

“The world we are a part of now is difficult to accept, unimaginably difficult. I don’t know if I accept everything even now. I don’t know how I can. But acceptance moves past denial, and maybe there’s defiance in that, too.”

#Agroforestry is a land management practice that integrates trees with crops and/or livestock to create a more diverse and sustainable food system.
This approach provides multiple benefits, such as increased biodiversity, reduced soil erosion, water conservation, and multiple harvestable crops.

It’s never simply utopian to believe that our societies can be (and have been) organized differently.
Transactional modes of relating to one another alienates people from each other and from the land.
A culture of care and stewardship can change that.
